It will be interesting to see how it compares with my 2015 MacBook Pro
(which is still very solid).

See these recent cites before purchasing the new TSMC Silicon ARM Macs:

o The new TSMC Silicon powered MacBook Pro can't use an eGPU (support for all non-Apple GPUs would be dropped)

o The new ARM technology TSMC Silicon powered MacBook Pro maxes out at 16GB of RAM & the M1 supports only 2 USB ports

And these older cites which offer evidence of Apple's design "prowess"...
o (Almost ever Apple iPhone CPU ever made has unpatchable security holes.)

o Which Apple CPUs, bootroms, & SEP secure enclave coprocessors do NOT already have well-known unpatchable fatal design flaws?

o Did Apple (yet again) fail in chip design (just like they did with modems) this time with graphics chips?
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.mac.system/c/Bz7wouZhKcU

o Yet another of the never-ending plethora of unpatchable security flaws in Apple's chips widely reported in the news today

o The 'Checkm8' exploit [IS] a big deal to iPhone or iPad users, and here's why

o Why zero day Android exploits cost far more than zero day iOS exploits (because iOS is far easier to hack)
