Even the new Surface Laptop Go, starting at $549, has two open USB ports while charging.Īpple will gladly sell you a $69 adapter that adds a bunch of USB ports. I think professionals need more than one open port. Remember, this is a “Pro” for professionals not a MacBook “Air”. That’s one port for an external display or one to charge your iPhone or one for an external drive or one for a keyboard or mouse.

I didn’t think it would be fair to Apple to test AAA games on an 8GB machine.Ĭonnecting more than one external USB peripheral- The MacBook Pro 13” M1 has two USB ports which means when you plug in your Mac, you will only have one remaining left. I will be testing out many AAA games over the next few weeks and even more when I can get the 16GB version of the Pro. I’m sure iOS Bejeweled, and Flappy Birds work great, though, on the new MacBook, if you can play those with the trackpad. Play AAA games- I believe there’s a reason why Apple and the early reviewers are always talking about Tomb Raider for Mac- it’s one of the few AAA games that works relatively well under emulation over 30fps, is in the Apple App Store, and it leverages Apple’s proprietary Metal API versus an open graphics API.Ĭ-Net reported that Steam barely works and without Steam working well, I think you’re dead in the water for AAA games. I got around 4.5 hours until 10% battery remaining with my use case Patrick Moorhead Without those calls on a second run, I got a bit over 5 hours.Īs I’ve said in all my reviews the last decade, battery life is dependent on what apps you run and how you use them. That’s about half the battery life that Apple and early reviewers were experiencing. I got about 4.5 hours to 10% battery running Outlook, OneNote, Chrome WhatsApp, Word, and performed one Skype for Business call, one Zoom call, and one Webex call. My experience was quite different on my use case.

On Apple apps, native Arm apps, and Safari, I think users should get good battery life. Want assured battery life- The M1 chip is a derivative of the iPhone and iPad chip and overclocked, so you’d expect good battery life. The Register reported that “the GCC compiler has yet to receive Apple Silicon support, and that's led some to argue that anyone serious about scientific computing should avoid M1-based Mac models.”īefore you dive in, check to make sure your apps run well with the M1’s new architecture.

Slack is based on the Electron IDE, where one of its software engineers said here that Rosetta 2 will make app (like Slack) “performance will be significantly degraded.” I experienced lags in Chrome, Skype for Business, Webex, Zoom, and Teams. I couldn’t see any issues at all with Word or PowerPoint. Outlook was better but I experienced some lags.

Rosetta 2 CPU performance hit versus native code Anandtechįor me, Edge browser was very, very slow and indicative of complex code.

That same site lists Rosetta 2 issues with:

Google Drive File Stream (an enterprise tool).

So far, this site says the following apps are incompatible with Rosetta 2: Given how many incompatibilities the M1 chip is having, a samaritan has created a site called “Is Apple Silicon Ready” documenting incompatible apps. Others are finding widespread issues with the M1 silicon compatibility. (Error code: 405).” WinZip 8.0 would not open after installation.ĭon’t rely just on my testing. The error message says, 'Acrobat DC not yet available for devices with Apple silicon. The installer just sat there, and I had to hard reboot the entire system.
