Cool read I have the new M1 MacBook Pro I upgraded from an old Macbook Pro Retina. Everything is just better and I can see the performance improvements when I work and play. However like you mentioned it does not have great Docker support yet that is not a big issue for me as I barely use it at the moment.

I do use Android Studio though and it does not work well with Android emulators yet unless you use a workaround. I was not too bothered about loosing bootcamp as you could always use virtualisation or buy a windows machine.

My only concern is that NEW rumoured M1X Macbooks will come out this year and our new machines will be old by then as tech moves so fast 😅
