And the M1 chip on mine really alters productivity. Every time we want to update a library, we need some kind of workaround.

It's great having a chip that is so much different than what our production infrastructure uses.



This should be a temporary problem solved with time. The battery and performance gains are completely worth most workarounds required.


Not worth it at all. I rarely use battery power, so I'd rather have an intel or AMD chip with more cores and a higher clock speed at the expense of the battery. Oh, and an OS that can actually manage its windows, and customize keyboard settings, and not require an account to use the app store


Then why are you using a Macbook in the first place? There are plenty of Ryzen 7000 and Intel Ultra laptops with similar performance out there. The key benefit of a Macbook is the battery life and sane sleeping when portable.


Tell that to my employer
