       | It's expensive at the top end, but Apple have cheaper laptops. If
       | one doesn't need two dedicated prores encoders and the ability to
       | run a myriad of high definition screens - it's really better to
       | save money and buy a slower unit.
       | 
       | After all, it won't be long before we look back on this laptop's
       | fast performance the same way we used to look at G5 powermacs.

         | CPU and GPU cores. The external monitor limitation is the only
         | thing holding me back from changing my final-gen Intel Air for
         | an M1-based system.

       | me of the MacBook Pro 17" (2010). I liked the previous form
       | factor better, don't need HDMI/SD, but I'm probably the
       | exception.

       | We have different users ( at least those that cared ) getting a
       | new M1 MacBook Pro points out how the keyboard is slightly
       | different to the Magic Keyboard in MBA M1 and 2020 x86 MBP.
       | 
       | But not a single review has pointed out or went to enquire Apple
       | about keyboard improvements.
