Coming from years and years of PC, I must say that this 13″ M1 Macbook Pro is an Internet beast. I also use it for Lightroom, Photoshop, Affinity suite, Capture One, FL Studio and I have zero complaints. I hadn’t had a mac since the mid 90’s and I was a huge fan then, but PC’s just offer so much more for the money.The ports are an issue and you will need to buy a dock like device because you’ll need it to hookup older devices or more than two devices at some point.GET THE 16GB model – While I have no issues with RAM so far, I believe the 16GB model should be the base model because the hibernation/sleep is going to kill the NAND hard drive eventually from writing to disk every time you close the lid.There is an issue with the keyboard that I haven’t been able to replicate, but the delete key will enter a state where it doesn’t work, though the keyboard still functions. I have to close whatever window I’m typing in in order to get the delete key working again. It’s not random, but I haven’t figured out what two key combo is causing the problem or if it’s just in twitter.The screen is 100% accurate (close enough) out of the box – The reason I got the macbook pro is because of the issues I was having with my 15″ Dell XPS, which is a beast, color discrepancy when exporting. The colors were always over saturated and I had to guess what settings to use to counter the output. I did everything imaginable and always color calibrate with Spyder (for 10 years I’ve done this) but the accuracy was never the same on other screens, printing or web postings.I never used the touch screen on the XPS. I hate smudged screens.THE BATTERY LIFE is insane, as you’ve probably heard. 2 days, all day, no issues surfing the web at whatever levels are auto adjusted for on battery usage.The touchpad – While really good, there are times when the two finger scrolling skips around, but overall, is a good experience.I’m not a fan of the operating system at all, just like iOS, it’s just too clunky and cluttered. Something odd coming from a company who builds incredible hardware with fantastic esthetic designs.

It’s a Mac once you go Mac you never go back. This is my second Mac my first lasted almost 9 years.

I don’t normally write reviews, but since I spent $1500 on this MacBook Pro M1 13″ from Amazon I have been very pleased. I have had it for less than a month and so far everything seems to be in perfect working order! I really love it to be honest. I was skeptical and a bit anxious about buying from Amazon instead of Apple directly, but I can say that there is no difference and it seems I got it $100 cheaper on Amazon and 2 day shipping. Just make sure it’s sold and fulfilled by Amazon. All in all very pleased. For anyone on the fence about it you shouldn’t be. Screen is bright, speakers are amazing, keyboard feels very nice, and battery is great!

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.

I love my new MacBook Pro!! It’s the 13” and not too small. It’s very lightweight! It’s so fast! I was using an older MacBook Pro from mid 2012. It worked well, just so slow. This one flies!! I was disappointed that there are no USB ports or CD player. I spent about $65 at Best Buy and got an adapter that works very well!!!

I’m going to preface this review with the 1 thing I dislike so we can get that out of the way.I mean let’s be honest, that’s what most people are looking for when buying a product-the down sides.It has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack EVEN THOUGH apple quit using that on it’s handheld products years ago.Not that I care, it’s good that they include the 3.5mm jack-but how come they didn’t include one for their lightning connector that their headphones come in out of the box? Forces you to either change to a standard headphone jack or BT headphones (probably trying to push their AirPods line).Other than that, I have no issues. It’s fast, efficient, reliable and easy to use. If your familiar with iOS on these then it’ll be a great addition to the tech team you have at home.

I got my new MacBook Pro M1 two weeks ago and could not be more happy with it. This machine is absolutely incredible in terms of speed, looks, weight/size, display, and battery life – and texture (it feels so good against the skin on my wrists as I type) and basically anything else you can think of. I also love the space gray color, the new keyboard, the Touch Bar, and the larger trackpad. There are so many options to customize the system to work just the way I like.My previous MacBook was the 2011 model and it still works today, but after 10 years it became too slow and the trackpad had trouble clicking, so after a TON of research, I decided to pull the trigger and get the New MacBook Pro with the M1 chip.A couple suggestions I am able to give after spending almost two months and probably over 30 hours researching the new MacBook are: go with the standard model of 8gb of RAM and the 256 ssd – you can get this on Amazon for $1239 vs $1299 at Apple – so you get to save 60 bucks, and you have the added satisfaction of not having to deal with the snobby nerd losers that work in the Apple Store, who asked me rudely when I went in to get a new laptop “umm, do you have an appointment? Well, you’re going to have to make an appointment if you want to go in the store”. I love Apple products and will never use another phone or computer besides the iPhone and MacBook, but after that experience I will never again give my business to the physical Apple Stores. I mean, seriously, do you really need me to make an appointment to buy a $1300 laptop? Whatever dude.Anyway, in several YouTube videos that compared the 8GB ram model along side the 16GB ram model (costs 200 bucks more), the 8GB performed just as well in nearly every task – and they really pushed it to the limits. The only reason to pay up for the 16GB RAM is if you want to edit 8K UHD videos or are a super serious music recording artist or highly advanced professional photographer – and even then it’s not too much of a difference. For the every day user (me or basically anyone who is not a computer professional) the 8GB working with this new M1 chip is mind-blowing, blows any other laptop on the market completely out of the water, and actually even performs just as well as the $2200 15 inch MacBook Pro using the Intel chip. As far as the storage goes, 256 ssd is standard – that’s what I got – and you can pay 200 bucks more for 512 ssd or 400 bucks more for 1 TB. But with the Cloud storage available now, you don’t really need to keep much on the laptop drive, you can just save it to the cloud.Overall I honestly could go on for hours about every little detail that I absolutely love about this machine. A free one year subscription to Apple TV is also another little perk. But I am still mystified every day at how incredible this machine is. I’ve been online for over 3 hours now and its still on 92% battery. The new Retina display is brilliant. Everything is perfect. I truly am in love this laptop and would recommend that anyone looking for a new laptop to last a long time and outperform everything else on the market gets the new matchbook 13 inch M1.

Had Windows based computers since day one. Always something going on with them. I’ve had at least 10 windows computers and decided it was time to try an Apple. Well I got to say I love this computer. A little bit of a learning curve but not a stumbling block. Don’t let the 13” fool you. It’s an awesome screen size and so sharp. I would recommend this computer to anyone.

I bought my Mac from Apple directly not from Amazon. This thing is amazing. Battery life is awesome. Hard to believe that I can work with it all day and do not have to charge at all even with bright screen.No issues with speed at all. I use Matlab a lot and this computer is even slightly faster than my desktop with 12 core AMD CPU and 32 GB ram.Excellent machine. Happy I bought it.

I own over 50 computers and it blows away my 11th gen Dell XPS 13 i7, My surface Book 3, my Ryzen 7 Thinkpad. the first week I got it the battery lasted for 5 days and 22 hrs of use and still had 20% left. I felt guilty and charged it. The Geekbench 5 rating beat all those listed laptops and they had 16 or 32GB of memory and the MacBook Pro M1 had only 8GB of unified memory. The keyboard felt great, the sound was superb, the screen bright, and it was blazing fast in all I did. I’m an IT consultant and deal in Windows based databases and this Mac has now become my daily go to system at home. It has become my new front end.
