My average day looks something like this: I talk about compatibility issues with hardware below, so don't worry, you'll hear me complain. But this past few weeks, every single bit of computing was done on this MacBook Pro except for my podcasting, which is a complicated set up that I didn't want to have to disrupt for an hour or so two days each week.
I usually spend most, if not all of my working day in front of my desktop iMac and only use the MacBook Pro in the evenings, on weekends, or if I'm away from home. I don't usually spend eight hours per day on my laptop. If my experience sounds familiar, you're going to want to read this review. Someone that plays Dungeons and Dragons remotely using Roll20 and Discord. Someone that stares at their screen for eight or more hours every day of the week. Someone that sits on the couch with their Mac on their lap for hours at a time. Someone that just uses their Mac everyday, for everyday work, for everyday tasks. Not someone that maxes out the processor or spends hours compressing video. Instead, I'm reviewing the MacBook Pro from the perspective of an everyday user. Rene Ritchie also has a very detailed video that covers MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini M1 chip benchmarks that I highly recommend.
He gets deep into the weeds with all the details on benchmarks and performance. In fact, if you want to know the nerdy specs of the processing power of the M1 chip, read our review of the MacBook Air with M1 chip by Daniel Bader. I'm not going to talk about benchmarks and PC comparisons in this review. It should be a well-thought-out decision because you want it to last you a very long time. After all, your computer should last you half-a-decade, at a minimum. When it comes to computers, I'm much more conservative when making recommendations to others.
