| My experience has been quite good, Mac Mini M1, 8GB RAM. It's very fast while running many applications, no CPU throttling, excellent thermal control. - VS Code Insiders works well for Web, Nodejs, and Ruby. - iTerm, Alfred, and Dash all work as expected. - Homebrew support is excellent. - Only a few issues with needing to re-install updated Ruby gems or Nodejs packages due to incompatibility issues from native C extensions, i.e. FFI (ruby), Sharp (nodejs), libvips (c++). - CPU intensive tasks are very fast compared to a 2015 MacBook Pro. - Input/Output is limited, and you will probably have to buy a dock and deal with display issues if you want more than one external monitor. I am still dealing with this. Overall I would recommend, compatibility is 95% excellent. The feel of the Mac is satisfying and problems can be solved within an hour most times. If you need many monitors for your work, you many want to wait until the compatibility improves, or buy a dock and roll the dice. |
