![]() I do wish it had more USB-C ports though it only has two so if you want to use more accessories you will need a dock. The build quality is excellent and it is light and portable I can’t fault it at all. Fortunately this is something that I never experienced because the MacBook Pro Retina models had the previous generation keyboards. ![]() Ports and Build QualityĪpple also fixed the keyboard in its latest Mac’s so they don’t get stuck anymore leading to phantom presses or keys not working at all. Speed matters when you have deadlines to meet and you need to have a super smooth process. It takes less time to get servers running, as well as working with development environments that have a package ecosystem. My entire development workflow is much faster on this new M1 MacBook Pro. The battery life is great this laptop can last for hours on one charge, it is at peak performance. The M1 MacBook Pro can at least play some games with all settings set to medium which makes a huge difference considering it is not a gaming laptop. The new M1 MacBook can run simulators in less than 1 minute!Īlso I could only play games with all low settings enabled. This was awful just imagine how slow mobile development was. In terms of performance this thing is fast! My old MacBook took between 4–10 minutes to start simulators in Android Studio. iOS simulators work fine though they have full support with Apple Silicon. This is a problem because Android simulators don’t work as well so it is hard to test on a simulated device. It works fine with Intel processors though. The fact that it has much better support now means that it can be considered as an ideal choice for a programmer.Īndroid Studio also had some issues as Apple Silicon does not have full support yet as far as I am aware. Docker did not work at all until recently. Initially when Apple released this laptop not all apps and tools were supported. Sure it might get a bit warm but not hot enough to burn unlike my previous laptop. I sometimes play games on my Mac, Starcraft II mostly and even then it does not get that loud. I am happy to say that this is no longer a problem with the M1 MacBook Pro. It was incredibly annoying and even noise canceling headphones could not block out all the noise. This put extreme stress on my computer especially using Google Chrome which would spin up the CPU increasing the speed and fan noise. On my old computer I used to go to a few websites that had far too many ads on them that could not be disabled otherwise you could not view the website. This laptop is super quiet it does have fans unlike the M1 MacBook Air but you barely notice them. ![]() I have to hand it to Apple they really know how to build great computers. This is the best computer that I have ever owned. It was also out of warranty so I figured that the time was right to upgrade. My previous laptop was a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina which was starting to show it’s age because it was lacking in power and the battery was overdue for servicing. I purchased my new M1 MacBook Pro at the end of last year which was December 2020, and it arrived in January 2021.
