Watch the M1 Apple Silicon MacBook Air Blaze Through Opening Every Default App

Footnote: The M1 chip opened Notepad.app by itself and wrote "Bro... that all you got?"
Why would anyone want to open android developer?
This sounds intriguing! I would love to see the performance impacts of all the app I listed over time with the M1. It's great for a few days, then it's just the chug of death until finally I need to reboot.
THIS ENTIRELY!!! Especially with doing Zoom meetings, Safari tabs, Xcode, Configurator, I can go on and on ... and my MacBook goes into a slow death. I'm hopeful that these M1s will be great and the reduced memory won't be a factor, but ... yeah, I'm skeptical by nature on this. I want to be proven wrong.
Believe me, it's not by choice! 😜
Watching the UPS truck drive around town until it gets to my house. If only UPS Driver and Truck operated with an M1.
People who want to make extra money by providing their apps to Android users??
Well done to iChan for putting together the best video yet to demonstrate the performance.
I just tried the same on my MBP and gave up after the first 5 apps!!

I'd add Eclipse (with a sh*t ton of attachments) to the mix, but I'm just trying to add load, not be a CPU terrorist.
Notice that the Intel Mac Mini is still for sale and at a higher price instead of getting replaced like the MacBook Air or the low end MacBook Pro. it looks like Apple is going to have a more powerful model to replace the Intel Mini and position the M1 machine as a lower end Mini.
And
it will be even faster if you set the playback speed to 1.5x

It's fast, but I don't know about that. iMac Pros and Mac Pros are designed to maintain sustained performance over time without throttling. The new Mac Mini might get some quicker peak bursts when doing simple things like opening apps, but it's not gonna beat an iMac Pro or a Mac Pro when editing an hour of 4k footage at full resolution.
I like to do the select all applications and press command O
Super impressive that a massive app like Contacts runs so smoothly on M1.
My theory is that Apple has faster more "Pro" versions almost ready.
And they knew Pros would jump on these M1 Macs as soon as released, and then get mad when Apple released more Pro versions in only a few months (March '21?)
And so to stop that happening they intentionally geared these only towards casual users by limiting the RAM. 16GB is plenty for many people. Higher RAM is coming, along with faster CPU, GPU and more thunderbolt ports
Some of those insane early benchmarks have come from machines with 8GB.
It's a MacBook Air. For a $1000 laptop with integrated graphics, this is impressive. My guess is that their first MBP with a dedicated GPU will grant your wish. If not now, then within a couple years. Skeptics can scoff for now, but Apple silicone is going to move the goalposts.
we reached speeds that shouldn't have been possible.
Also, Apple don't want the current $5000 iMac Pro customers switching to $1000 MacBook Airs because it's quicker! More powerful kit must be around the corner for their sake.
That's impressive. I think I'll wait for the 14" MacBook Pro redesign and then pull the trigger.
Next year I plan on doing a full upgrade, new MacBook, AirPods, iPhone, Apple Watch.
Hoping Apple pushes 120Hz VRR across their devices next year as it's basically the only major upgrade left to do.

Base model?
My next downgrade is going to be a HUGE upgrade.
