Still a lot of work to be done porting, but Rosetta 2 is picking up the slack

By all accounts Rosetta 2 is doing a great job, don’t forget the M1 is the low end 1st attempt at this and is a direct replacement for low end models.

Higher end intel gear is still available for the MacBook Pro & Mac mini.

Power usage in the Mac mini is interesting, 4.2w idle, ~30w peak.

I’m still awaiting detail on how the 8GB unit performs and if that ssd is actually quick enough to mask lack of ram.
