The good

  • Notably superior CPU and SSD performance over last year's MacBook Pro
  • Still one of the best laptop screens, especially for creative work
  • Apple-made software like Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro runs very well on this machine
  • More portable than most competing workstations
  • If you like butterfly keyboards with ultra-low travel, you’ll appreciate that this one keeps getting better

The bad

  • If you hate butterfly keyboards with ultra-low travel, this one won’t win you over
  • Zero serviceability or upgradeability for power users or IT professionals

@ puk1980: ik had de laatste zin van "The Bad" al weggelaten, kennelijk heb ik een visionaire blik.  ;)

"Stronger, better, faster?
...
It's harder to recommend it to consumers given the price; the cheaper 13-inch model provides more than enough performance for the majority of consumers' daily tasks..."

Voor de gewone consument heeft Apple geen 15-inch dus.
Voor hen volstaat een 13-inch redeneert Apple blijkbaar.  :music:

In my estimation, there are mainly three types of people who would spend $6,699, $3,500, or even $2,699 on this laptop: creative professionals and developers (and the companies that employ them) whose livelihoods depend on performance, core gamers who are married to the Mac platform and have no other viable choices with strong enough video performance, and well-heeled consumers who just want the best computer they can buy, whether they need it or not.

Voor de well-heeled consument heeft Apple dus wel een 15-inch beschikbaar...   :slobber:

Ikzelf ben allerminst well-heeled, dus ik wacht gewoon tot er 1tje kapot gaat dat ik betaalbaar kan overnemen & repareren...
If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Recycle the planet, we're gonna need it! Think different, think twice, Apple!
M1 is a success! Please do not forget Mac OS.
