The M1 MacBook Pro is the best Mac made since the turn of the century.


Hear hear.

I have a Macbook Pro M1 Max. I upgraded from a 2015 MBP, which had previously been one of my all-time favorite Apple laptops (and I've had cough a lot).

The MBP M1 Max - to my surprise - destroyed the 2015 on virtually every level.

This is my current "from my cold dead hands" machine.


Pricepoint: $2,499.00 for 16 inch MBP, M2, 12-Core CPU, 19-Core GPU, 16GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage (which is very small storage, and 1Tb starts at $2699).


This probably goes without saying, but I feel it needs to be said anyway: 16GB must be a joke by the market segmentation folks in Cupertino. I can just barely do comfortable development with the 32GB version. If docker was native, mayyyybe 16 would be almost fine…

Isn't Microsoft still selling laptops with only 4GB of RAM?


For 2500? Nope.


Ever heard of ZRAM under Linux? KVM settings with RAM deduplication?


The M1 Max MacBook is the best computer I've ever owned, period. I upgraded to it from a 2012 MBP. The hardware is top-notch (pun intended).


I switched from Mac to Surface in 2017, and was moderately happy. I bought an M1 air when they came out, it’s essentially a different kind of product.

Surface and M1 Macs aren’t even in the same universe of utility.
