(A PC equivalent would cost $1,000 less and run WAY more software, and depending on the software, can run that software faster.

(macOS only, some proprietary macOS software doesn't work under Rosetta as well, no native Linux dual boot support except third party without driver support)
The concerns I've attempted to state previously are valid:
#Handbrake for mac m1 drivers#
If Apple would allow an ARM port of Windows on the Mac and provide GPU drivers for Windows, they'd get a lot more support from many of us. I've said both good and bad things about every major company. I'm one of the most objective and unbiased people you will meet when it comes to hardware. There are users getting sucked into this that realize, far too late, that their new shiny Macbook can't do what their old PC did. Quite frankly, I'm glad they were able to pull off what they did, but too many people here overhyped it and pretends like it's god's answer to everything that is "wrong" with the PC market. They just hide insufficient RAM better.Ĭlick to expand.I hope you aren't referring to me. This may seem like common sense, preaching to the choir, but I am posting this anyway just because there appears to be a commonly believed myth out there that M1 series Macs inherently need less RAM, but as demonstrated, that isn't really true. Also, a lot of users have reported that they run into stability issues when short on RAM, and upgrading to a model with more RAM eliminates those issues. So if you look at this from a performance perspective, yes M1 series Macs hide swapping well, but the bottom line is that they still benefit significantly from that extra RAM, to reduce SSD wear if you're a heavy user. Then if he went beyond his normal amount of multitasking to something crazier, both hit the swap, but the 16 GB model did much worse: However, despite the fact that both M1 Pro machines felt fast, the 16 GB machine was hitting the swap a lot, and the 32 GB machine was not. What he did notice is that even under heavy multitasking both felt very responsive, and noticeably quicker than a similarly configured 2019 Intel Mac with 16 GB RAM. Max did some Lightroom / Photoshop tests on two M1 Pros, one with 16 GB RAM and one 32 GB RAM, both configured identically and running the exact same software. So, as expected, the claim that macOS on M1 series chips need less RAM than macOS on Intel is false.
