Did the charger spec state anything about USB PD? If not, it might not charge your Macbook.

Do be wary that, Rosetta 2 apps might have memory leak (it could be due to the app itself). I'm using Azure Data Studio which runs via Rosetta 2. After a few sleeps, the app performance is really bad, even after restarting the app. Usually after rebooting PC, then performance is back to normal.

So take note of that.

1) Less flex when you rest your palms on it.
2) Bigger battery.
3) Not deal breaker, but customising touchbar to specific app is kinda fun. I wished more could be done.

According to this https://isapplesiliconready.com/, Office 365 is Apple Silicon ready. But today I see this message.



Those rely heavily on Office applications, take note.

If it's out of warranty, you can try other 3rd party repair shop though.

Still can use, if you go with Rosetta 2. Anyway, Office suite sucks in Mac.

That's unfortunate.

Apple Silicon M1 was a quantum leap for PC processory. M1X probably meh in comparison. With 120Hz display, battery life might get hit in a way, unless the 14" form factor is bigger than current 13" MBP, which might see an increase in battery size.

Anyway, what I'm looking forward to is more ports and more than 1 external display support, natively.

And of course, if Apple could somehow fix the battery drain with USB accessories/monitor plugged in during sleep.

Yup, much anticipations. 32gb options would be good as I'm constantly exhausted my 16gb.

USD 1999 is less than RM10k la.
