I've been using my girlfriend's M1 Air, and I am superbly impressed. You can feel how much more responsive the system is with every click. I am so tempted to upgrade my from my 2017 Pro. The only thing holding me back is the knowledge that the M1 is the slowest Macintosh chip Apple will ever make.

Feeling exactly the same. I am trying my hardest to wait for a couple of generations after grabbing a 2019 16".

Same boat. Tough to hold out given these incredible reviews!

It's not even that expensive, so it's a much easier product to recommend.

Compare to the 2012 MBPr, a similarly innovative Apple laptop. The 2012 was $2,199 in 2012 dollars (nearly $2,500 today). This is that kind of leap, and more. $999 (sometimes $899) is a bargain.

I am just going to do it and sell the machine once some absolute best of a machine comes out. 32 firestorm cores please! But still have to decide which one...
