Am I happy ? Happy as Larry, whoever Larry is / was
My old 2013 macbook was getting tired, time for a new one. I know you can say all the apps and clutter were slowing the old one down, but no ! I have formatted it and just put back the essentials.
This new M1 chip, O.M.G. it is fast. I do quite a bit with Photoshop, no spinning beachballs with the new one... It opens raw files with the snap of a finger...
Would I recommend it ? YES, 101%
Would I buy another one ? Oh yes, 101%
Is it good quality, Yes, 101%
Is it good value ? Now there in lies the real question here. OK Yes you can buy cheaper laptops, that do the same thing, per se, but I have always found apple products far superior in build quality, design & capability, and as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for" !
I don't drive a big fancy expensive luxury car, and probably wouldn't if I could afford one, but this is a luxury I allow myself, since we bought our first Apple Mac way back in 2011, we have never looked back.
And no more Windoze PC's in this house, our whole system is Apple.
So the question, Is it good value ? Ohhhhhhh Yessss (thank you Churchill for that quote) 110%
Also it is far lighter than my old macbook pro, not such a burden in my camera bag, yet it still retains the feel of a solid piece of kit...
