Macbook pro 13 8 256 m1, should a developer take it?

Question

macbook

Who took a poppy on m1, share your impressions. Is it possible to live on it with 8 GB of RAM? I'm doing backend in python.

Answer 1

I have an Intel MacBook with 8 gigs, like a second device, sometimes I’m on it, because it’s stupidly smaller and lighter, (13 "vs 16"), sometimes I want to fall into a chair and take a break from the table, and on it, in principle everything is fine, a node, a webstorm, a couple of messengers and a safari, also a docker on the background with a database and a radish, it’s more than possible to live, and judging by the tests on m1, working with memory is faster, so as a minimally usable option is real, but on how long will it last - xs
