I love my M1. I got a refurbished unit from Amazon for the savings. I was a little worried when it came, the box was a little beat up, it came in its factory box, but did not come with original charger. The charger they provided was brand new and works great. This MacBook is the fasted computer I have ever used, period. I dabble in music production and gaming. I have no complaints. The laptop was in perfect condition too, not a scratch on it. Check if the M1 works with any specific software you use prior to purchase, I had to wait for some that I use to work, no big deal, but if you use video editing software, or other processor heavy apps, double check. I don't know why people dislike the Touch Bar, I love it.
