My MacBook Air M1 has arrived and these are my observations in the first few days. I'll publish some additional details later after I've spent more time with it. While the form factor is identical to the Intel model, it's new to me, so I'll be covering its size and feature set in addition to …
Apple released its first Macs based on its own processors only a few weeks ago. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, citing supreme performance and battery life as compared with Intel Macs.
