All the current issues which I observed were all software so that should be fixed with the time like homebrew, docker, etc. This machine is definitely a future. So I am buying it with 512gb storage and 16/8 GB ram. Let me know your thoughts too and don't forget to hit like and subscribe,

So for all those worried about the configuration and future proofing, I ordered a 16 GB RAM and 216 GB SSD because we can always plug-in some external SSD whenever we need but cannot do the same with Memory. So if you are tight on budget and will be using this machine for 5 years or so, go with 16GB memory

I have got 8gb 256 gb variant for programming and stuffs. And my experience has not been that smooth I would say. It gets slow and hangs when I open intellij and dozens for tabs. Not sure if it's just me facing this issue.

[@HabRemyTM]

Hi, thank you for making the videos. I’m a Windows, and it is about time for me to switch to Mac as my primary, since I’m developing Flutter apps. Some videos says that developers should wait for the next generation of MacBook, because the M1 might have some unknown bug or complications. I’m thinking on buying a 2018 Mac Mini for testing and building, and once the 2021 Mac drops, I’ll by that. What do you suggest me to do?

M1 is Awesome ❤

[@travelwithme5715]

Great! You just got a new subscriber. I am confused between pro and air. If I open xCode, studio, netbeans, chrome (around 15+ tabs), filezilla, teamviewer and couple of more things together at a time, and looking for at least 2-3 years, which one you recommend? Also, 16gb would be required or 8gb will be sufficient and if 16gb, then how can I purchase it as couldn't found any 16gb m1 variant on Amazon or flipkart

[@gaganyadav9569]

16 gb ram is a customised one and can only be bought on apple website or offline stores.

Yes I did. And it’s totally worth it. In the past week or so I haven’t not faced any issues with development or building simple apps.

Does Graphics card plays any role in build time of Flutter Development?

[@aviralgupta9869]

Not really if u r not creating an android game or something like that

[@joselito7776]

Thank you for confirming whether Flutter dev is viable on the M1s. As for your choice of SSD over Ram, you can always plugin an external SSD if needed. Yes it is inconvenient and not as fast as the internal SSD, but its a viable option whereas with Ram you are forever stuck with what you've got, so you might want to reconsider cuz for power users, 8 gig is a bare minimum.

[@HelloCodepur]

For developers, 8gb unified memory is sufficient though it’s good if you can buy the 16gb one. If you do lot of multitasking or video editing stuff then only I recommend it over SSD. Because there are limited ports in this machine so the lesser external things, the better experience

[@balajiramadoss6014]

For flutter you need to run Android studio with iOS and Android simulator Chrome Postman So It's better to go for 16GB

[@dhruvajindal4932]

Do you recommend IOS Development using Flutter on Windows with the help of Virtual machines? My system Specs: i710710u , 16gb ram , Nvidia 1650 Max Q Graphics, 512 GB SSD
