to be fair, for those who want to use Microsoft Edge/Third party softwares or software that can run only in X86 framework, should just stick to INTEL/Windows pc/laptop....they shouldn't consider Mac at all...

Yup. It's like eating using legs.
If die2 must use Windows software, go for Windows OS la. Why wanna make life difficult?

Because they want to proved the balance...many people say good then someone need to point out the bad... but the issue here is the bad not relevant at all

i am sure any apple fans here use windows becos of no choice, same as me. i am using bootcamp on my macbook pro 2017 due to work purpose too.

i will never go with any windows laptop as the quality is totally far far behind apple one.

If you talk about more than 5 years perhaps it's true. But PC laptops already catch up a lot recently. The only thing is those premium PC laptops (XPS series etc) are actually costing more than Apple nowadays. It's not worth it.

There are genuinely ppl who really like/appreciate the mac and macos, but have some softwares from windows/x86 not available on new m1 platforms. These are genuine use cases/dilemma. They don't intend to make their life difficult....

Erm.. In that case just buy a PC. Don't buy a Mac. Must be able to differentiate between like and must.
Or just wait out until Parallel works on M1.

I can see people selling used MBA on Facebook with the same config as the new base air at 4k.

😂
lets see who will fall for it

Not sure about you but I see most macbook traders pretend like the M1 didn't exist. I mean their price is not adjusted to reflect the interior performance. RV is stronger than ever.

Not possible with the current MBA and MBP M1. Only Mac Mini M1 can support more than one external monitor.

Have this freaking annoying problem. Just got a new ultrawide monitor with dual HDMI input which I am connecting the MBA through a dock.

Previously on my single input monitor there is no issue to just plug and play. Now, almost everytime if my mac goes to sleep or if switch off the screen, its a nightmare trying to get the monitor to load my mac.

It will always throw me no signal or no just black screen before I have to keep retrying (plug out cable) or switch monitor off-on. Anyone else faced this?

Whoah. So buggy? Why no reviewers ever mentioned this?
