>It is even the best Windows PC The delusion is very strong here.

I got the 1TB SSD. Wouldn't call that tiny. Then I have external arrays for bigger datasets. How much space would you need? IIRC they go up to 2TB or maybe even 4TB.
The 256 is too small for me, I edit videos sometimes. $200+ to upgrade the internal drive. I'm hoping the 14 inch will come with a larger internal drive, and more upgrades.
USB type C Gen 2 10gig is fast enough for most video editing especially any editing you could do on a device like the M1.
Personally if I was editing videos I would be using an external storage device both due to the capacity and the fact that my data is then portable.
With the full disk encryption on the M1 I wouldn’t be storing anything other than your scratch pad unless you can guarantee a 24/7 backup as you go scheme anyhow since any failure would like be irrecoverable.

You must be new to Macs. I'm still on the MBP 2015 and it's "the best computer I've ever owned". Everything since then has technically upgraded parts, but the regressions (touchbar, butterfly keyboard mishaps, etc.) are not worth the upgrade. That's why this is surprising.
My 2010 MBP 15" is still my favorite.
Yeah, right - if you choose to ignore the following: You can't upgrade the RAM, you can't upgrade the SSD, it doesn't have replaceable battery and you are forced to run a crippled OS on it (macOS Big Sur deliberately cripples VPN and firewall on it so that select Apple softwares can bypass them, allowing Apple better access and control over your data and softwares). (And if you don't care about any of the above, then…
I'd rather have more closely integrated hardware for a laptop. It's more efficient and leads to a smaller, more powerful device. I have a powerful desktop that I pay for incremental upgrades and it works great. I'm not in the Apple ecosystem, but have been before, and either way my goal is to have high quality ultrabook that serves as thin client to desktop/the cloud. Everyone has a different workflow that works for…
I think we really need a break from people submitting more M1 Mac unboxing articles, unless there's significant original technical content. This is turning into fanboyism.
It's just... really good. It's an uncanny feeling that many haven't had for a while

They probably have a quota to fill. Apple spending an ocean of cash on pushing this project.

its really not... I would advise you to try something outside of apple once the m1 dies on ya (in like a decade)
> its really not... How so?
the approach with running ios apps with catalyst, safari being faster than on ANY intel device, and most guides recommending you use webapps
thats mostly what I mean. people have had a repulsion to chromebooks or even windows 10 S but apple did not do much more than just that. the praise isnt coming for how amazingly working in production through rosetta is

Generally this is surprising because the user bought the "Air" model instead of his usual "pro" model which is much more expensive. The impressive part here is that the air outperforms last years pro (according to the author) which is 3x the price.
this is what people meant prior to the m1 coming out with "macs are a horrible deal" they used to be priced at roughly 3x markup compared to the market. they finally fixed their co-dependency with intel and suddenly wow the price gouging goes out the door because gasp the macbook air could have always been the pro it was just never possible with using old chips. ANYTHING using arm absolutely FLIES open your eyes peop…
Have you tried other machines as well, such as a ThinkPad? Have you ever used Linux?
