Im sure iOS Bejeweled, and Flappy Birds work great, though, on the new MacBook, if you can play those with the trackpad.All Rights Reserved Subscribe Sign In BETA This is a BETA experience.Cloud I write about disruptive companies, technologies and usage models.Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Ive read the first batch of Apple MacBook Pro 13 M1 reviews and youd be hard to find anything negative about the new laptop.
At the worst, there were some complaints about the iOS app experience, but on the whole, early reviews, described the new MacBook Pro 13 essentially as Gods gift to the notebook wanting masses. The new M1 processor is impressive, but far from perfect- it has many warts, that nearly nobody is discussing. I think the new MacBook Pro 13 M1 will likely be fine for users who use 100 Apple software, stay primarily in Safari and dont need to connect it to a bunch of peripherals, and have a lot of money. Ive used my unit for nearly five days and here is my assessment of whom I think should avoid it. This is because the Apple M1 processor doesnt speak the same underlying software language as the Intel-based Macs. The new M1 MacBook Pro needs to use binary translation to convert Intel instructions to Arm instructions through an app called Rosetta 2. Im told the Rosetta experience should be better than last time, but Im not seeing it yet. I got installation errors with Adobe Reader XI, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, a Samsung SSD backup application, and Xbox 360 Controller for Mac. The error message says, Acrobat DC not yet available for devices with Apple silicon. Error code: 405). WinZip 8.0 would not open after installation. Others are finding widespread issues with the M1 silicon compatibility. Given how many incompatibilities the M1 chip is having, a samaritan has created a site called Is Apple Silicon Ready documenting incompatible apps. Be sure to check printer compatibility, too, as HP Printer drivers v5.1 would not install for me. Id wait for the Arm binary compatible apps if you want assured compatibility. This makes a lot of sense to me as binary translation is very hard to do. I experienced lags in Chrome, Skype for Business, Webex, Zoom, and Teams. Slack is based on the Electron IDE, where one of its software engineers said here that Rosetta 2 will make app (like Slack) performance will be significantly degraded. On Apple apps, native Arm apps, and Safari, I think users should get good battery life. I got about 4.5 hours to 10 battery running Outlook, OneNote, Chrome WhatsApp, Word, and performed one Skype for Business call, one Zoom call, and one Webex call. Thats about half the battery life that Apple and early reviewers were experiencing. Without those calls on a second run, I got a bit over 5 hours.
