1)App compatibility issue, you have to use Rosetta2 for most software. 2)Unified memory architecture causes extremely excessive rewriting on SSD which is soldered and irreplaceable. //@sza: Don't be the beta testers.

Adorama is the worst retailer ever in US. They will cancel or not honor your order especially for discounted items. Be aware! //@Harry: Added to post, thank you. //@anonymous: $899.00 https://www.adorama.com/acmgn93lla.html?&emailprice=t

It is horrible to install modules in Apple ml to do ML/DL. for example, still don't know how to install pytorch, don't know how to install hdf5 and so on. Don't buy at this moment.

11.2.3 update fixed the issue with 3rd party usb-c hubs, therefore no more complaints after 4/6 in that macrumors thread. //@sza: Don't be the beta testers.

not really. Just use Rosetta for intel applications. The performance is not too shabby compared to newer intel CPUs.
