Exactly my point. Hopefully should shut up the "Tim Cook is ruining Apple" whiners until the next product launch.

Wow! Despite only having 8GB of RAM, the M1 MacBook Pro's fans did not audibly spin-up when 50 apps were open or when 10 YouTube videos were playing simultaneously.
Although I would get 16GB of RAM if I bought an M1 MacBook Air (I prefer the Air), it's amazing that only 8GB was enough for the fans not to audibly spin-up when 50 apps were opened or when 10 YouTube videos were playing simultaneously.

You’re getting a lot of flak for this comment, but regardless of low/high end Mac you’re not wrong. Lack of eGPU support is a real blow.
But does it support 2 displays 😏and a external GPU. My 13in MacBook Pro 2019 is still a beast and i refuse to believe its obsolete.
That what happens when you have appropriate memory management technology in place. Over the years, we have been taught by PC/Android community that there is always a need of more RAM. As a consequence, they started pulling android phones with 8GB of RAM or more, which is ridiculous. Apple never really officially released the RAM capacity of the iPhone for a reason. It just didnt matter at all. With M1, Apple showed us that 8GB is a lot of RAM that for the vast majority of people is more than sufficient and if it is properly managed it could be blazing fast (Typying on a laptop PC that currently uses 6,7GB of RAM with only a few browser tabs opened).
I am proposing the CPU as it also says in the article that power draw at the outlet [power outlet] is 31-32 watts.
The point is, it is not a 10 watt CPU which seems to be the claim
Ya, I appreciate my lap warmer when I'm out in the shed on a cold day.But it heats the house so well in the winter.
Hmmmm, that is not what I was hoping to hear!
I have the 2020 10th gen i5 16/512 and am slightly regretting not waiting for the M1's to be released. Considering I paid £1800 for it 6 months ago, they are only going for £1250-£1300 used on Ebay so I can't justify that sort of price drop just yet in order to chop it in for an M1 MBP with the same specs. Will wait to see what the 14" ones look like next year hopefully.
The whole thing. Not just the cpu, that’s impressive
At full usage the m1 gpu draws 10w so around 30w the whole mac, while my 1050ti system that has less raw cpu power and lets say around the same gpu power , the whole device draws 44w
Well the performance is great no doubt.
But i would apreciate some test from daily use.
I mean, why and how often do you opening all your 50 aps one by one?
The exporting in fcpx is better.
In real life does the 2-3 minutes makes any difference? Not really.
Those are some evaluation factors for me personaly to judge if ist worth to switch or not...and nit just follow the best gear syndrom
But i have to add as well that apple did great job with the m1 and its very good ofcourse

Big price drop for six months use though. I would be losing £500 in the space of six months. Its not financially smart to do this unless you NEED the extra power versus WANT the extra power.

Well, absolutely. If you’ve never hit the ceiling of your current Mac potential then you are probably fine with waiting a bit longer for your apps to load.
However, for everyone that has had (for example) Logic Pro stopping playback because it has hit max CPU, then this is very attractive considering its entry level price.
lol this headline.
”M1 MacBook Pro DESTROYS snowflake Intel MacBook Pro with LOGIC”

Actually, I’m ‘dancing around like a fairy’ because of what these first efforts mean to the future of the mac.
Ahh the old ‘write it big and people will believe me’ trick. Good one.
The performance and reviews of these laptops has really thrown me. I need a new MacBook at some point, but I was happy to wait a generation to see how the launch of Apple Silicon shakes out. Now I’m not entirely sure what the benefits of waiting are. Didn’t expect them to smash it out the park like this on the first swing.
Yieeehah! The CPU 'performance-game' is finally back after years of hibernation.
Waiting for the MacBook Air I ordered to arrive on monday.

So just how much faster is the base model Air Intel (2020) vs the base model Air M1 in regular everyday person usage? Safari, Mail, Messages, Photos, Music, Etc.?
I don't do anything intensive so I just want to know if it's worth the upgrade from my only 6 month old Intel Air to get the M1 or maybe just wait for 2021 and see what the next gun brings and hopefully a 14" screen option?

Typing on a 2020 MBP that's 4 months old, bought after the refresh (Magic Keyboard and double storage) thinking I was safe as the 14" didn't seem likely. Then the M1 comes along. Spoke to Apple to plead my case and they offered me £780 but I can get more on eBay so will be going down that route so I can get a new M1 MBP.
