Apple MacBook Pro 13” M1 Review- Why You Might Want to Pass

There's nothing of any value in this diatribe disguised as a review.

It seems like a long road to native apps on the Mac. It's been hard enough just to get plug-in vendors and everyone else to go to 64-bit. Now a whole new architecture?

But this is ridiculous: "What I’ve never comprehended is why Apple supports touch displays on iPhones, Watch, and iPad, but not on the MacBook."

Because touchscreens on computers are STUPID. People use computers because they need PRECISION, and they don't want a dumbed-down UI with giant buttons taking up the whole screen so you can poke at them with your fat fingers... while blocking your view of the UI with your hand.

The computer has a trackpad and keyboard. USE THEM.

So dumb.

“ I don’t think it can keep, made claims it doesn’t explain during announcements, and that the Apple-chosen reviewers didn’t find the warts I found in the first two hours of review.”

A good reminder of how everyone has an agenda when they are writing.

A good early M1 user experience will be had by those entirely in the apple software ecosystem.

If you are venturing out of the ecosystem, use a good Remote Desktop application and a powerful plugged in computer to get the best of both worlds.

It should hardly come as a surprise to anyone with just a little technical knowledge, that when you switch to a completely new system architecture, 3rd party apps do not all work perfectly from day one.

Apple did not promise anything wrt. 3rd party apps, so talking about “broken promise” is downright dishonest. But that’s just the usual from the Forbes Contributor Network and Clown Car Testing Facility.

I expected fewer third party applications to work with Apple's transition to M1. Rosetta 2 has been a pleasant surprise...
