I considered the praise they were getting around battery life and the performance parity with high end Intel machines, thus cancelling the 16. But, they became available sooner than I expected. Just like in the days of transitioning from IBM to Intel. I ordered a 16” Macbook Pro, thinking the new M1 Macbook would have app compatibility issues due to the changed architecture and other issues at launch not to mention they were not available for purchase for the first days. So, I wanted to be able to at least move around home when working.Īs I would normally get the biggest screen I could without entering desktop replacement sizes. Being locked at my desktop for so much time started getting on my nerves. One of the advantages of working from home is being able to move around a bit. I stopped using laptops when covid hit, as my PC was powerful enough for anything I threw at it, upgradeable, cheaper and not a lot of places to move to.

Out of all of them, I still miss the Surface’s screen the most. My last experience with Mac OS was a mid 2015 15” Macbook Pro from work. In recent years I have used a plethora of machines and configurations, from a Microsoft Surface Book 2 to an Alienware m15 on the mobile side.
