The others in the thread have it exactly right - unless you know exactly what you're getting this machine (or any of the other M1 Pro/Max) machines, it's not for you. Apple basically devalued the Pro name during the late Intel era and now they're stuck between the rock that is the massive performance even low-end ARM chips can now eek out and the hard place that is pricing after a decade+ of relatively inexpensive Intel MacBook Pros. I don't think you remember the heyday of the Pro during the PPC and early Intel era - they performed serious miracles in computing performance compared to their non-Pro equivalents. Apple had to scramble to come up with a cheaper pro this march. Too expensive when the M1 air will do the job for half the price.

However, if Windows is not part of your primary workflow, everything I've heard is that these Macs fly, and I always liked the build of my MBP.

There are cheaper PC laptops that will give you good build quality and better Windows performance for less. If you're primarily working in Windows (and I do, which is why I switched back, virtualization even on an x86 processor was a waste of resources with no real payoff), I think you'll have a better experience using a PC as opposed to a VM. I don't like the look of the Thinkpad, but that's about my only knock on it.Īnyway, just depends on what you want in a laptop. The Lenovo of course blows my old MBP away in performance since it's 7 years newer, but otherwise feels very similar. The MBP was $2500 in 2015, the Lenovo was about $1250 after tax and SSD upgrade. This year I upgraded from a 2015 MBP (16 gb, 512 GB, i5) to a Lenovo X13 (32gb ram, AMD 5800, 2tb) with the same size and resolution as the MacBook I replaced. What do you like about the Apple line specifically? There are a lot of capable PC laptops out there, but it all depends on what you like. I don't care too much about gaming on a laptop, in general they just run too hot if it's a demanding game, and most anything can run the non-demanding ones. Or if you've just found a PC laptop or know of one coming, that really matches/exceeds this. They have plenty on bootcamp Windows, but not a whole lot on how it works out on these M1s. So asking myself if it makes sense to buy an Apple and dual boot/VM Windows on it and end up with both OSes as options on it. Anyone buy one of the Apple M1s to use as a productivity laptop? I have been looking at Windows based laptops and just am not finding something I really like that isn't the same price as this.
