Yes! Especially this is the unoptimized version. Once the optimised version is in, the performance should fly even more!

These optimised version will be via software update?

If it is through the App Store then the update will come in through notification. If its downloaded separately, then if the programming is done well, it will also notify you and auto update.

Thanks bro.

Seems like many have issue with Bluetooth and display. I’m thinking more towards software issue and Apple will release patch soon

Thanks. Why I ask is because I'm not familiar with Mac.

Like is there any promo in stores like switch or machine for iPhone 12. Another is to wait for wwdc June announce new MacBook and then maybe a price drop for M1?

Depends whether you are urgent or not. If still can wait then wait, I think another few more months will launch, then by Oct or Nov will reach to Malaysia.

Hi, sharing some personal opinion to you ah.
Mac don't last forever also, but it can work in optimum and acceptable performance conditions longer than PC for sure, provided the hardwares and electronics are still functioning in old age.

Shedding some answers that can help enlighten you slightly if not all:
1) You may or may not require to install Parallel Desktop for Windows in order to access the Microsoft Office files. There are third party softwares build for Mac that support equally good if not better thab Microsoft Office. I can suggest WPS. which is an open source and you can download and use for free from Apps Store if you do not need the cloud services.
Download Source: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1468073139?mt=8

2) M1 chip only can support 1 external monitor natively, so the dock is required if you need to use more than 1 external monitors. Regarding the vertical monitor, its not an issue, but with 1 vertical and 1 horizontal, i dare not to say the same as i have no experience in this setting before.

I actually wanted to suggest that if its not urgent for you to get the new computer, perhaps you could hold your bullet until end of year after they launch new chipset Macbooks later this year with better processor. Rumors have it that it will be able to support more than 1 external monitor, but not guaranteed yet.

Any dock to suggest for more than 1 external monitor?
