    Question for mac users. I’m a pc user looking to get a MacBook for mobile music production. When the new chips come out is there any issues with the early models of it? Like bugs or other issues that Apple has to resolve in the next batch? Or is it rigorously tested before it’s sold to the market?

    I ask because I feel like pc(not necessarily windows) but some pc parts themselves don’t work too well in conjunction with the rest of the system. It could simply be the processor, but that’s another discussion

      there might sometimes be software issues with a very new version that tend to get hotfixed after a short amount of time. buy into a new gen a few weeks, maybe 2-3 months after it was released to be sure, read lots of reviews. generally though the M_ hardware and software has been really robust.

      I don’t think so especially since the case and CPU aren’t brand new anymore. M3 is the third ish generation of their desktop cpus and I don’t think they’ll change the case for a while, I was only wary of the M1 as a first gen machine, but they’ve proven to be rock solid, too.
