Still in a dilemma, not too sure to get the Macbook Pro M1 or the Macbook Air M1. Tend to favour towards the MBP with the active cooling but logically the laptop would be used mostly for standard productivity stuff so logically I should stick with the MBA M1.

If 1 thing I've learnt from my MacBook Air 13" (2020), although not comparable to M1 chip, is to always budget for 3-5 years down the road punya performance requirement.

Initially bought my MBA where I thought I will be editing 1 video a month, end up editing like 3 videos weekly + lots of work requiring 8-10 safari tabs for my research and content creation purpose.

I'd rather fork out extra money for that extra fan and core to compensate for that extra bit of longevity (who knows future MacOS is more demanding since their chips are so powerful right now)

Yes, that is my thinking as well. Its meant to replace a 2011 MBA which I currently have and use. Just that most of the usage on it is mostly office productivity work and I have a desktop rig to do most of the heavy lifting stuff.

Hi sifu,

i was planning to get macbook pro 16" for week, but my friend said better wait for the macbook pro 13" M1, because almost half the price but same performance lol.

but i read online review a lot ppl mention due to the thunderbolt and usb port. m1 macbook pro only allow to use 1 external screen. may i know if i buy those wavlink or caldigit docking station can i use 2 external monitor? because my work require me to use 2 screen most of the time.. currently using asus tug 27" and acer 34".

thank in advance.

if your budget is MacBook Pro 16", why don't wait for the refresh? https://www.tomsguide.com/news/macbook-pro-...-over-for-intel

plenty of rumours started on this.

m1 MBP can connect up to 6 screens if you want. since you already have screens, why not Mac mini? same powerful and much lower price..XD

Most of the issues highlighted is software related.

FCP might have been ‘updated’, but it will still require more time to be fully optimized to the M1 chip.

Looking forward to get my hands on the 13 inch Pro M1.

Was contemplating between Air and Pro, but the fan-less design led me to lean towards the Pro instead. Switching from 16 Pro to 13 due to portability.

Hopefully we’ll get it by early/mid Dec.
