😴 I'm taking a break from February 1, 2024 until May 1, 2024, so I will be less active here and on social media.

When not to get an M1 Mac

November 24, 2020

You’ll probably know if you’re not the target audience, but as it stands — you shouldn’t get an M1-equipped Mac if:

  • If you need virtualisation support (VMWare Fusion, Parallels, Docker)
  • You need Intel virtualisation support (Parallels and Docker both have ARM previews available now)
  • You are constrained by the maximum 16 GB of RAM
  • You need more than 8 cores for CPU-bound tasks
  • You need more than 1 extra monitor attached

That’s it. Learn more about my thoughts on the new Macs.
