    I work on an ARM Mac, it’s fine. If you’re just doing light work on it, it works great! Like any other similarly priced laptop would.

    Under load, or doing work outside what it is tuned for, it doesn’t perform spectacularly.

    It’s a fine laptop, the battery life is usually great. But as soon as you need to use the x86 translation layer, performance tanks, battery drains, it’s not a great time.

    Things are getting better, and for a light user, It works great, but I’m much more excited about modern x86 laptop processors for the time being.
