All the demos and reviews concentrate on this - It's fantastic at editing.

I'm sure nobody is surprised by the pricing. I think I'd rather buy an MX Keys and a second-hand watch Series 3 for auto-unlocking than fork out £179 for the full-sized keyboard.
I'll wait for the 27" iMac replacement and get one with that

Same here. I hope we get that with the M2-based chip early next year.

I would get a watch if it functioned like touchID for password validation on the mac. Unlocking the mac is nice but most of the time I want touchID for entering my password and I can't do that because the macbook is docked and closed. I could go for a stand alone touchID button as well. One built into the magic touchpad would be great as well. Come on apple.

it pretty much does, to be honest. I’ve an M1 mini and a 2020 i3 Air, and the watch unlock/authenticate kicks in for app installs, password unlock etc
if the Air is in clamshell mode, it flips to the watch on the same WiFi network

It’s been possible for a long time
Come on fez, keep up
What! Does it auto authenticate the password requirement for anything system related? I know it does login but I didn't think it did general system password entry where touchID or manual entry is the current option.
I'm not sure that touchID ever bypasses manual entry - For example, I've gone into system preferences, users, and clicked the padlock to unlock it. The only option I get there is manual password entry. TouchID isn't an option. If I open something that gives me the option of touchID, I also get the option to double click the button on my watch.

Cheers. I will have to have a look a the new watches in September in that case. Or maybe I will pick up this years on one of the crazy deals they always have just before the new ones come out.

Pops up with TouchID or Watch double tap when I've just tried the Security Preferences option, although Users definitely forces manual password entry (I'm assuming for additional security). There's likely a list on their support site, that I've yet to find, that says which options require manual entry instead of TouchID/Watch auth.
was just watching a video on this topic.. the poster said it was struggling with some codecs and flicking in Final Cut Pro unless he had 16GB model...
But Ram and SSD are soldered on? I really dislike not being able to upgrade or even replace faulty parts. I'd buy an M1 Mac if they were modular
Hasn't that been the case for a few years with the laptops though? I don't think it's new with the M1.
I’ve got a Synology NAS. It runs Plex natively.

How big are we talking? I've got an MSI Cubi with a 2TB NVMe and a 4TB SSD. Works incredibly well for my workloads. You could sub the SSD for something cheaper if you don't need quick storage.
But then I may as well stock with my PC because that's something else to suck power
