- Apple’s M1-based Mac mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro have set new standards in terms of performance and efficiency. They are leaps and bounds better than their Intel iterations, though being first-gen products, they come with their own set of issues.
- If there’s a single disappointment in the release of Apple’s first wave of M1 Macs, it’s the lackluster launch of iOS apps running inside of macOS. What should be an amazing unification of Apple’s platforms and a massive expansion of the Mac software base is, instead kind of a non-event.
Hi,
Kindle App Mac M1
in this post i want to share my findings with a new Macbook Air with the new M1 Chip. I have bought it about 21 hours ago so my usage is limited.

First impressions
First of all I love that it is totally silent. Coming from a 2015 Macbook Air finally having a Device that is no warmer than my hands no matter what I do is pretty awesome. The speakers honestly blew me away. Didn't expect that even the Macbook air was sounding that much better now. I don't know however when that changed. It is not like listening to proper speakers in your home but good enough for casually listening to music or a Podcast.
Keyboard
The Keyboard is nice to type on as well. It has nice travel and is not the most silent on the market. If you like it or not depends on personal preference.
Using it
After signing in I found that the performance is awesome however I did find some problems which are rather annoying and honestly I am thinking of returning the Macbook even with all the positives I just mentioned.
The problems
Volume at startup
When you turn on the Macbook there seems to be no way to change the volume of the chime. That thing is loud. Not a problem when you are living alone but using it while traveling if that is a good idea again, I wouldn't want my Macbook to scream through the train or plane. That screaming continues all through the login-screen. However you can, using VO plus the minus and equals keys change at least that. But you have to do that every single time you restart your Mac. So you better never do that at night.
Siri Voices
Another problem that I've encountered is that the Siri-voices are not adjustable in VoiceOver preferences. You can set them to 1 or to 100 percent speech rate. That will not change a single thing. Using other Voices is possible but as I said that is really annoying. Firefox private browsing.

New recovery mode
Using the new recovery options actually seems to work fine. However that ends when you attempt to format your drive. Entering that Option to do anything with your drive will crash VoiceOver which you only will get back once you closed that dialogue. A complete reinstallation of your Mac which purges everything on the drive is for that reason not independently possible.
Workaround to format your Mac
Adobe audition cs6 serial number pdf. A Workaround is to use 'find my' on another device to delete the Mac. That way you can re-install the Mac OS but you shouldn't have to do such limbo to get that basic functionality.
Time zone during login is wrong
Another small thing is that the time in the login-window that is displayed is not the time that corresponds to my time zone.
Final thoughts
So that basically is it. There is light and darkness and I am honestly wondering if no one really tried that stuff with VoiceOver over at apples. I am sure all of those problems can be fixed
Kindle For M1 Mac
One last note: I love to use Overcast on my macbook. That is really awesome and accessible. Basically you have the iPad App on your Mac which seems to work the same with VoiceOver. But I hope that the problems I found out about the last couple of hours will get fixed very soon!
Apple’s three M1 Mac models may look outwardly identical to their Intel siblings,* but once you start using them, you realise just how many differences there are. You can hold down whatever keys you like when starting them up, but those won’t get you into Recovery Mode, and what you see there will be quite disorientating at first. No matter how experienced you are with Macs, or how fluent your skills with Big Sur, if you’re getting or have already got an M1 Mac you need Glenn Fleishman’s superb book, Take Control of Your M-Series Mac.
This isn’t an account of Big Sur, nor is it another tedious expansion of Apple’s online articles, but it focusses particularly on those features and procedures which are different on M1 models. Following a sound introduction to the new concepts in Apple Silicon, Glenn details how to migrate from an Intel Mac, backing up, battery matters, Recovery and its tools, and changes in security. The final two chapters explain how to run iOS/iPadOS apps, and two variations on the theme of running Windows, including the use of pre-release Parallels virtualisation.
Kindle Mac M1
Glenn and his editor Joe Kissell have each stepped through all the practical procedures which make this book so compelling. Coverage is thorough, and fully up to date. Being an electronic book, Glenn is revising it as Apple addresses some of the rougher edges. Where relevant, there are links to websites including this blog to provide more technical detail for those who want to dive deeper. For example, the chapter on Recovery describes Fallback Recovery, and steps through the critical processes of Revive/Restore using Apple Configurator and DFU mode.
For anyone seriously considering getting an M1 Mac, and everyone who has one already (including me), this is the essential guide and reference. If you don’t buy it, you’ll regret it.
Take Control of Your M-Series Mac, by Glenn Fleishman, is 84 pages long, comes in PDF, EPUB and Kindle formats, and costs $8.99 from Take Control Books.
* The MacBook Air and Pro are readily distinguishable by their Globe key. The rest is literally just fine print.
