Been following this thread and it's kinda hard. Good grief, let people buy what they want to buy and makes them happy. I'm looking forward to the m1, OS X is a solid OS, and I can use all my *nix goodies from it. It's just another machine in the lab and another option to explore and enjoy for what it is. Dont understand all thie anger.
Mods, is there anyway we could split this thread into an actual M1 for Chess and another for Apple vs The World for the flame threads, so we can have a clean post for just chess ports and info?
On a side note I do have enough for one now, though I'm torn because I've been getting into AI and NN a lot lately, and debating getting the m1 or a 3060 for my linux box. Torn because I could realy use the GPU, but looking forward to toying with OS X/iOS dev and porting engines over and testing.
Will give it another month, 3060's have been sold out for a long time now.
If I get the stimulus check then I can get both and still save the rest. Crossing fingers
