M1 Mac - Anyone Have One Yet
by killingthemonkey from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EXNG)
I'm going to be buying myself one of the new M1 MacBooks. If I want to settle for 8GB of RAM, I can pick it up today. If I order a machine with 16GB from the Apple site, it won't ship for 11 days. All of the Apple stores in my area shut down trying to avoid the plague.
My use case is this, functioning in MacOS for daily stuff, and one VM running Kali for a Cybersecurity course I am taking.
Right now, I'm running Ubuntu with a KDE Plasma desktop on an Alienware Alpha, Core i3, and 8GB of DDR3 PC1600. Which seems to run the VM fairly well.
So, instant gratification (8GB), or wait for the eleven day(16GB)s?
Help me out here, please. I am notoriously bad at self-control.
