For those who do photo editing, it's an amazing machine.For those who do video editing, it's an amazing machine.For many developers, it's an amazing machine.I don't see where anything could even remotely be considered "misleading," but I do see where your assumptions may have been wrong. This is very misleading and so many people have struggled and Apple does not post any disclaimers or anything.Ī very strange definition of "misleading."īecause you depend upon an application that was never promised to do what you do?īecause you wanted a capability that was never promised, implied or even hinted at? The newest one I almost purchased would not be capable.įor your extremely narrow defintion of "capable." I upgraded to an M1 Max MBP because I wanted the increased speed and capabilities. If that's the case, you never should have been shopping for a replacement in the first place why replace what works for you if you don't need to? I’ll probably buy a refurbished mbp 16 with 32GB of memory.
#VIRTUALBOX MAC M1 ONLY 32 BIT PRO#
My current 3 year old MacBook Pro with 32GB memory can do everything I need and have been doing for years. After doing more research I decided not to buy one. I almost bought a maxed out one for like $6000. I can hardly wait for an Apple Silicon Mac Pro to finally replace my old Mac Pro 5,1. You need a maxed out Mac Pro tower to beat a Mac Book Pro on Final Cut benchmarks. Look at the specs for video editing and image editing all while generating far less heat and using less power.
#VIRTUALBOX MAC M1 ONLY 32 BIT SOFTWARE#
My bad for not specifically Googling "SoftwareX won't run on Apple Silicon" for each piece of software we use.Īpple has been selling MacBook Pro’s for a long time now and created a product that I believed beat the competition by a landslide. It wasn't until we got the first shipment of iMacs that I actually tried to start a VM and got a kernel error that I realized I was hosed. I just didn't have a virtual machine to start at the time. So I did a demo and VirtualBox installed on the new M1 and it ran just fine, no grayed out icon with a slash through it, so I thought it would work. But all they could say is "we don't know". Maybe I'm alone in my thinking that when you stop supporting product X and replace it with an improved product Y, one would expect that the new version will still do all the things the previous version did AND MORE.Īnd it would have been nice for the folks at Apple to have told me about these issues when I asked them BEFORE we decided to purchase 15 of these not-quite-ready-for-prime-time M1 iMacs. These new Macs also won't talk to our Apple Server to do network user authentication when Filevault is turned on.
We have Parallels on a couple of Macs, but it's soooo bloated that you can't get decent performance while it's running so I don't see it as a viable option. So I can't boot into an ARM based Linux Distro either. Also they got rid of bootcamp and you can't boot from a USB stick either. I thought "Rosetta" was supposed provide x86 emulation to bridge the gap between x86 apps and Apple Silicon but apparently not.
