New Apple MacBook Air with Apple M1 Chip (13" 8GB 256GB SSD Late 2020)

The issue has been fixed:
macOS Big Sur 11.2.2 prevents MacBook Pro (2019 or later) and MacBook Air (2020 or later) models from incurring damage when they are connected to certain third-party, non-compliant powered USB-C hubs and docks. //@sza: Don't be the beta testers.

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.

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.

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
