Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Whoever says anything, but the same docker works fine. Basically never. It will start, you can even build containers under linux64 (you have servers on the amd64 platform) via buildx (not build) but you will never be able to run them locally. And yes, you can't beat everything. If the container contains a binary from amd64, then the build will also fail. There is only one way out - to have a virtual machine in the cloud for three euros. Brew, although they say that they are only 49.25% ready. everything that needs to be installed without problems (terraform, ansible, go, zsh.). For go applications, you only need to use the beta version of Go 12022. Via vftool. or qemu runs fine on linux/arm64 or Windows. In general, I still recommend the laptop for purchase. docker is the only problem and it is solved by an additional 250/month) . On April 15, docker desktop was released in a stable release. Everything that was not collected earlier is collected without problems with the indication of the linux/amd64 platform. Minikube also works natively. He now, like kind, uses docker for deployment. The battery really holds two working 8-hour days with running Safari, VScode, Telegram, Spotify, Mail, iTerm2. I also tested FAB filters and Kontakt 5.6 for Logic Pro X. Everything works without problems. Only problem with constant problems with Wi-Fi has been identified. Here the receiver is much weaker.

Pros
  • - Keyboard. Good old scissors returned: instead of a butterfly - Screen. It has more colors - Performance. At first you don't feel it until you go back to the 2022 firmware or Air 2022 - Launch iOS applications. Not everything can be launched from the AppStore, but through iMazing you can run everything on your laptop that is on your phone - No touchbar. It's a huge plus that they didn't think of stuffing him in here. - Virtualization based on the Virtualization Framework. Lightweight and nimble
Cons
  • - compatibility. More in the comments - raw axle. When resetting, I had to restore the firmware (not the operating system) through DFU mode from another laptop - both ports on one side
