But for some other issues, you will just need to wait for fixes and use an x86 machine in the meantime. Some of those fixes will be easier as the community posts issues and fixes on Github. My impression is that if you have moderately big projects to work on - with a lot of dependencies & especially if you need to use docker - you will run into various issues that you need to fix. He is comparing them to Intel Macs or laptops and trying out various programming tools. I also recommend you to watch some of Alexander Ziskind's Youtube videos around the M1 Macs.

I also tried docker and certain images that work on my Windows 10 laptop or on an Intel MacBook.

When I finally managed to do that, BigSur had an update and after that, the arm version of node.js didn't work anymore. I spent countless hours getting around some issues like for a Gatsby project I could not make the 'sharp' module work. I did see that with very little use - like a few Chrome tabs + other background apps that run by default it will quickly consume the "standard" 8GB of RAM.

But it does use SSD swap, so that's interesting. With a local frontend workflow (build and running unit tests), lots of Chrome tabs open, docker running a few containers, VSCode, Spotify, and other programs running in the background I haven't seen it use more than '~12,5GB' of RAM. Can say for some frontend builds I was getting ~60% speed increases from my 2y old Dell XPS 15. Running the native arm node.js on this machine is extremely performant. Also, I noticed that the 16 GB model barely uses less than ~7-8GB RAM but I'll get to that later.Ī lot of my development work implies running VSCode and node.js locally for frontend workflows.

I went for 16GB of RAM because some of my development workflows require running multiple docker containers locally, and we all know how much memory docker consumes. So buying an M1 laptop didn't make sense - since I can use my laptop when I need portability. I don't like staring into small laptop screens, so for using both my monitors and also having more ports I have chosen the Mac Mini instead of the MacBooks.Īlso, I am working remotely and already have a Dell XPS 15 laptop. I wanted to use it with - 2 big monitors (M1 MacBooks support only one external display - although there are workarounds). Why I choose the M1 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM
