Want assured software compatibility– The new M1 MacBook will not run native MacOS applications built in the past ten years. I’ve used my unit for nearly five days and here is my assessment of whom I think should avoid it. I know that may sound negative, but I call it balance.

I wanted to provide some balance to those early reviews and discuss who I believe shouldn’t consider the new MacBook Pro 13” M1. I think the new MacBook Pro 13” M1 will likely be fine for users who use 100% Apple software, stay primarily in Safari and don’t need to connect it to a bunch of peripherals, and have a lot of money. The new M1 processor is impressive, but far from perfect- it has many warts, that nearly nobody is discussing. At the worst, there were some complaints about the iOS app experience, but on the whole, early reviews, described the new MacBook Pro 13’ essentially as God’s gift to the notebook wanting masses.ĭon’t get me wrong, there were some very positive things about the new laptop. I’ve read the first batch of Apple MacBook Pro 13” M1 reviews from the Apple-chosen first reviewers and you’d be hard to find anything negative about the new laptop.
