Poll: *** The official 2020 MacBook Air/13" MacBook Pro thread (it has the M1 chip and everything!) ***

[Feek]

I'm definitely keeping mine, I've just added AppleCare+

My Air has shipped too, went for the 8 gpu core, 16gb, 512gb version. It’s replacing a mid-2011 11” MacBook Air so hoping this will last me for another 9 years!

Loving my base spec Air. The best thing is using it just feels like using my desktop, never feels like a compromise.

My shipment has been stuck in Eindhoven since Monday. Odd.

Does it just say that it's received the shipment notification (or something similar)? If so, that means that they've been told it's on the way but it's not actually arrived there yet. It's very misleading.

 

[Rilot]

Ahhh, that makes sense.

I think I have had this MBP for a week or so now... and I still don't think the fans have come on once.

Anyone using one of these with an ultra wide monitor? Curious if it supports 3440 x 1440 resolution?

Yes, works fine on my MBA using a USB-C dongle with HDMI

Played Warcraft on mine all evening and its a Warcrafting beast! Max graphics setting at 900p looks great and is 60fps most of the time.

Done 5 heroic dungeons this evening in Shadowlands, well done Blizzard for the quick M1 port.

That's what I want to hear. Thanks @Spit
Looking forward to being able to play on the sofa without burning my legs like I do with my HP Envy.

If you were waiting for this news to buy a computer, you already have the decision on the table. As I said before, this MacBook Air is likely to become Apple's most popular computer. And therefore, for many it will be the first contact with the M1 chips. If they come from an Intel MacBook Air they will notice the change, and if they come from a Windows PC the difference will be abysmal .
I am convinced that the next few months we will see more powerful models of this M1 chip in future higher-end iMac and MacBook Pro, but who wants a MacBook Air is not looking for maximum power. And this MacBook Air gives several turns to the Intel generation, so I insist: it is the perfect time to have Apple's lightest and most famous laptop .

This is your first post, what do you mean "As I said before"?
