[QUOTE="dav1ec, post: 1880361, member: 407590"] Does it perform as well as the i7 on everyday use? Is the standard 8GB ram enough when usually you'd be looking for 16GB with the i7? The M1 claims to perform better than the i7 due to its unified memory and being a complete 'system on chip' I do believe this helps with efficiency. Software compatibility aside, are there any other reasons to stick with the i7? I'm unlikely to task these machines with more than video/keynote presentation. I'm slightly suspicious I can buy a new M1 for less than a refurbed i7. What's the catch? Mostly looking for reasons people would choose one over the other. [/QUOTE]
