I do video editing and motion graphics and this thing is a different class of machine. Final Cut exports a 10-minute 4K ProRes sequence in about 4 minutes. The fan noise is almost nonexistent during most workflows — only extended 3D renders kick the fans into a range you’d notice in a quiet room. The port selection including HDMI 2.1 and the SD card slot means my usual workflow requires zero adapters.

Exactly what I needed after three years on an Intel MacBook. Compiling a large React project that used to take 80 seconds is now done in 11. The battery genuinely lasts through a full day including a Zoom-heavy afternoon, which was not something I expected to say about a machine this fast. The Liquid Retina XDR screen is genuinely beautiful — I adjusted my Lightroom export settings because the colours were more accurate than my old external monitor.

Excellent machine. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the 24GB RAM tier feels like an artificial ceiling for a $2,400 laptop — jumping to 48GB is expensive. That said, 24GB handles my Docker-heavy development environment plus an IDE, Figma, and several browser tabs without visible memory pressure, which I didn’t expect.
