Only issue I have is that dotnet does not support m1. The beta of version 6 does but I had several issues with it and dotnet 5 runs slow as hell on rosetta.
Otherwise everything works just fine.
Onboarding with an M1

Re: Onboarding with an M1
#62I wonder how well the litany of terrible apps that you typically have to run in a corporate environment are doing on M1s. Things like Cisco's Anyconnect VPN, MS Teams, Active Directory Auth, and so on.
“Active Directory Auth” is a native part of macOS, though there are third party directory services auth mechanisms like Nomad.
Yes, and it already acts odd with password resets, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to see new issues with a native M1 port.

#63As mentioned in the epilogue regarding single monitors, I feel that Apple was a little too silent regarding that limitation. It also caught me off guard especially as I purchased the LG 4K thunderbolt/usb-c monitors from the Apple website with the hope of connecting everything via daisy chain. I haven’t yet definitively found a DisplayLink hub that can output its video via thunderbolt and/or USB-C so whenever I see a…
I understand the lack of multi-monitor support in the M1s is an issue. But just after the launch of the M1, I came across a video that demonstrated an M1 Mac mini driving six monitors. [0] There is also a short write up about that workaround, for those who don’t want the video. [1]
There are similar workarounds for the M1 MacBoooks. [2]
Is this a reasonable workaround until Apple provides M1 hardware that can run more than 1 monitor out of the box?

> I feel that Apple was a little too silent regarding that limitation. That's the whole point. It's about what Apple doesn't tell you that matters, which I have said before [0]. Especially for a new product announcement and release, which is why I don't immediately buy their products because everyone else is hyping it everywhere. Now they are discovering the pitfalls and foot-guns later on after purchasing it, whilst…
They did tell us though. It’s listed on the tech specs: one monitor on the m1 laptops; 2 on the mini. That’s why I bought a mini.

#65Has anyone tried using a Wavlink 4K USB-C docking station with the M1? I use it on my intel Mac Pro and windows desktop and it works like a champ.

#66I always wonder why ppl do not use MacPorts? There was a great article on HN which basically drew a pretty clear picture how brew can easily mess your system up. Yet, being a new Mac user, wherever I go, I only see a reference to brew installs.
I am using M1 for a over a month and it’s been a very smooth ride so far. Installing everything via MacPorts where I only had an issue with rabbitmqd which failed to build because of erlang.

The specs page for the Pro on Apple's site was up front about this and still is. Check it out here: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/ Scroll down to Video Support and see: "One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz." When I was making a buying decision back in November, the limited external display support came up in every analysis & review I read. I'm not trying to give you a hard time here, bu…
A lot of people missed it. No one expects features to be removed from the latest and greatest model.
These first M1 models replace the very low end of the MacBook Pro line, not the full line. They replace the versions with the slowest processor and only two USCB-C ports. That is why the rest of the MacBook Pro line still exists waiting for the next performance version of the M-series chips.

No, I can say it’s gone pretty well. Both the Kerberos SSO and directory services bind/network accounts work exactly as expected. As you say particularly mobile accounts have always sucked for managing passwords especially for a mobile workforce, but that problem has gotten no worse!

It's called wishful thinking with blinders. What? The M1 MacBook Pro is not the magical device with no compromises??? People were way too enthusiastic and purposely skipped over any weaknesses of the form factor. People were claiming that it was capped at 16G ram because there were no purpose for having 32G ram (it was amazing to see the hacker news technical set reclaim Bill Gate's "640K ought to be enough for anybo…
I’m not aware of anyone (except those using VMs) who are complaining about the memory. I personally went from 16gb to 8 and don’t miss it. Do you actually own/use an m1 Mac?
If it works for you, it works for you.
However in 2021 I am not interested in a computer with less than 32GB ram. Sure, I could work around the limitations and close not in use programs/tabs to avoid going OOM, or using swap, but life is short and memory is cheap. I'd rather not have to worry about it.

Yes, very silent. We ordered a replacement for my old work machine and only realised that limitation after - too slow to stop the purchase order. We’ve ordered an ultrawide monitor to compensate. I feel the “Pro” label is somewhat misleading, and has definitely damaged my trust further.
If you get the ultra wide and have trouble getting the resolution setup you might need SwitchResX. It let’s you override the default resolutions with custom ones. Some of the ultra wide monitors support resolutions that are not expected in the default setup.
