This isn’t really a Mac-specific thing, but rather the fact that I had been used to older systems. Images and video look amazing on this screen, and it’s not a particularly high-level or quality screen. For example, wide gamut displays and Retina display technology has come a long way. The other thing that it made me realise, was how far behind the technology curve I was. It’s such a different experience, it almost doesn’t feel like using a Mac. And while processing and benchmarks may paint an impressive picture, what doesn’t come across in the numbers is the overall responsiveness. Overall Impressionsįirst of all, everything you read is true. As my laptop was also old (2012 MacBook Pro) and I needed to replace that, I decided to take the plunge and embrace the future with an M1 MacBook Pro. The newest operating system I could use was macOS 10.14 Mojave and there were starting to be applications that just wouldn’t run on it. My main workstation was an ageing 2012 Mac Pro, which despite its age was working perfectly for why I needed.
I’ve been working of a pretty old computer for some time now.
