This is my first ever Apple product, and I am floored by the performance it has given me. I am a 5th-year Graphic Design student, and I was originally using a Microsoft Surface Pro, and the conversion to Mac was a MASSIVE upgrade!!! Especially with the use of the M1 chip. I'm able to produce videos using Adobe Software, which even on my Gaming WIndows PC, uses quite a large amount of RAM  and VRAM to render out, only use half of that with this laptop. Added in a 1TB SSD External and a Dock, and I am a happy man!!! Thank you, Apple!
