  • What mine (m1 pro, 16gb ram, has fans) is good at:

    • Very low power usage and exceptionally long battery life
    • Screen is above and beyond what a laptop needs
    • generally fast and can manage cpu-heavy games and video transcoding

    What it’s bad at

    • ever being able to upgrade
    • some functionality requires third-party apps or terminal knowledge
    • not all programs have an Apple silicon version and need the translation layer
    • virtualization is inconsistent and unpredictable

    They’re cool devices. I’ve been a longtime laptop hater but I’m happy with mine. Yes you do need the 16gb ram upgrade that they will rip you off for. Get a pro model if you think you’ll need active cooling, but my fans rarely turn on.





  • I just remembered Shadows of Doubt, I think that’s the most recent game with this system that I’ve played. It has proc gen cities where every citizen has a job and a sometimes spontaneous daily routine. Every few days a citizen will murder another one and leave behind a trail of evidence. It’s supposed to hit 1.0 this month as well.

    Very raw and buggy in places but in ways that leads to more hilarious outcomes. You hide in a freezing vent waiting for someone to head out to the club for them to apparently decide nah not tonight 2 seconds after leaving the building and catch you in the middle of reading their emails.
