Hi all,
Was thinking about buying my next machine, and was quite impressed with all the positive feedback I got from my friends regarding its excellent CPU and hardware. However, I wanted to jump in here and get some insights from those of you that have been using it.
1 - How is the performance? Does it get noisy/hot like my work machine (2019 i9 16" Pro) ?
2 - How is the development experience? Are you missing some critical tools on this platform that you need on a day-to-day basis?
3 - How is Docker performance/compatibility? I work a lot with Docker for backends/servers and Docker for Mac has always been pretty bad, but wanted to see if it improves with M1!
4 - How much RAM is good for heavy development work? I use Adobe Creative Cloud a lot, do video editing here and there, and also a lot of Mobile development (React Native). Would 16GB be okay, or do I need more? (Would like to future-proof for the next 4-5 years). My work Mac with i7 32GB always gets insanely hot and noisy with most basic loads.
Thanks again and will really appreciate your insight!
