Which M1 Mac Should You Buy?
Finally — a choice that’s easy to make
Who’d have thought that by May 2021 we’d have not one but four Apple silicon-based Macs to choose from?
I was among those who doubted the likelihood of an arm-based Mac drawing me away from Intel. Then, I got my hands on the M1 MacBook Air and I fell immediately, head-over-heels in love.
It’s hard not to be impressed by the M1 chip, and I have a sneaking suspicion that those who criticise it simply haven’t laid their hands on a device containing Apple’s first-generation Mac CPU.
The launch of the M1 coincided with the rise of my YouTube channel, for which I’ll always be eternally grateful. But if there’s one thing this has demonstrated, it’s that for as amazing as the M1 is, it does create some tricky buying decisions for people.
The good news — for now, at least — is that choosing an M1 Mac for your home, hobby or business is as simple as picking the right form factor.
