It ran circles around the old machine despite being the lowest spec. Battery is light years ahead. And it doesn’t even have a fan. So it’s dead silent. Never gets hot unlike the old Intel. There isn’t any mechanical component to fail except the hinge and the keyboard.
I was worried I might regret not waiting for the higher spec M1s. Now that just seems totally unnecessary for me.
PS: Work later gave me a high spec 2019 Intel MBP. It’s slower, louder, and much hotter than my Air. And at least 2.5x the price. Amazing.
I had a 2019 Intel MBP. I hated that machine with a vengeance. It was always hot, and because of that always throttled. I live in a hot place (Israel) and during the summer of 2021 the heat caused a massive expansion of the battery which destroyed the laptop.
I went for an M1 in late 2021 after using a Windows machine for a few months and hating every moment of it.
The M1 is simply incomparable. Fast. Silent. It feels futuristic.
