M1 macs
 

I'm getting to the point were I need to upgrade from my 2015 macbook pro and these days it's all about the M1 chip with Apple. So what I was wondering is if anyone has either of the new M1 macs and if they work just dandy for digiscrapping just like any other mac?

Also, I think I might have convinced myself to get the iMac vs the macbook, anyone have any pros or cons they want to share I'll gladly listen. I have loved my macbook pro, but it's got a small screen and since I have the newest ipad pro I don't really need the portability as much. So upside, I get bigger screen, downside it's not portable.

I’ve been waiting for the m1 chip to be able to get a new macpro laptop (my current one is like 8yrs old). My husband is a mac fanatic (he is vice chair of the local Mac user group, haha)… these are suppose to be the best and will keep up with my scrapping… and I can bring my laptop to its knees. :)

I won't be upgrading my mac for at least a few more years hopefully so I haven't read much on the new chips. I will say i LOVE having an imac and couldn't imagine working or scrapping on a laptop and enjoying it the same way. While it's not totally portable it's really not that hard to move it around if you have a desk in more than one area of your home since it's just the single piece you have to move.

One nice thing about the imacs is it is super easy to install ram yourself (it's just like putting in a battery) I don't upgrade my ram when I buy the mac from apple because it's super expensive and I've just upgraded via amazon instead.

Yeah that's pretty much what I've learned by watching endless test and reviews of it. It's just the leap from laptop to desktop that seems scary.

Well the bigger screen is the big sell for me and actually the main reason I want to upgrade. As far as the RAM I don't think it's as easy to upgrade on your own on these new ones. Still the bigger screen <3

booo that's a huge bummer :(

I went with the iMac. So excited! I haven't scrapped on a large screen since 2013! First I had the 11inch macbook air and upgraded to macbook 15inch. So this will be HUGE, but hopefully I'll get even more scrapping done.

Best of all, it's blue <3

I have both a desktop and the laptop and truthfully I prefer scrapping on the desktop. I love the larger monitor and I am able to have a 2nd monitor with all my kits elements and papers open and then I can drag/drop.

Yeah, the larger size screen makes it all much easier. So excited to get it, if only it didn't take Apple forever to ship it out.
