Similar to how the original Mac wasn't just a revolution in terms of its input method, of how we used it, but in terms of its interface - of how we felt using it. But this literally feels like it's giving me those pieces of my life back. Yes, a few seconds at a time, but a few minutes over the course of an hour and probably an hour or more over the course of the week. The lack of waiting for things to happen and the absolute lack of beach balls so far feels like it's giving me slices of my life back.Īll those little interstitial things, all those times I have to wait, for frames that don't render, for icons to stop bouncing and apps to launch, for beach balls that pop up… All of those things add up.

With single-core performance like this, it just makes everything feel immediately responsive. Which is a weird thing to talk about but just something I couldn't get out of my head while running all these tests. Third, and the biggest one, for me, is just the quality of life difference brought on by the M1 Macs. I imagine that will be true for a lot of people across a wide range of types of work. Literally transformative as in changing the way that I will be able to do my work. ![]() Which is good enough when I'm just thinking about working from home while watching virtual events and making my own damn coffee, but when I think about life after the world stops ending, and I'm traveling again, and bouncing between airports and hotels and venues, the ability to write and record and edit and render and upload with that much battery is just… transformative. The Intel Pro was down to 27% battery, while the M1 Pro was still at 70%. From beginning to end, starting everything at 100%, after all those tests, the Intel Air was down to 40% battery while the M1 was still at 64%.
