Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I primarily use my MacBook Pro for music production and performance. As such, Logic Pro and myriad amp models/plugins are constantly in use on my machine. The M1 chip blows the Intel chips out of the water in terms of loading speed, battery life, and ability to handle large Logic projects with dozens of tracks, plugins, software instruments, and live recordings. Battery life has also seen a significant improvement over my 2020 Intel machine. I am not quite getting double the battery life, but it's not far off. This isn't a huge deal for me, as my machine is typically stationary and a charging cable is readily available, but for someone who needs the portability, the difference is substantial. UPDATE 6/16/21: I have been using this laptop for over 6 months now on a daily basis. I have done everything from Word documents, email, web surfing, Logic Pro, Neural DSP guitar plugins, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Illustrator, and many other tasks and I do not think that I have even heard the fan come on 1 time. It's pretty astounding. The M1 is still exceedingly snappy and the battery life blows me away. And while more and more apps become native to M1, I'd expect performance to do nothing but improve.
