Finally got my new macbook yesterday.

The performance is just bonkers. A release build of Telegram for Android took 11.5 minutes (with spotlight indexing everything in the background). WITH X86 SDK!!! The same build takes ~45 minutes on my old one. Though the fans do spin up when you run lengthy demanding tasks, reviewers lied.

The animation of window overview when you swipe 3 fingers up or down is so oddly satisfying on the high refresh rate display and I can't stop playing with it lol.

Now I plugged my monitor into it (surprisingly, that thick USB-C cable I had for ages worked just fine) and moving the mouse pointer on the monitor feels noticeably laggier because of the lower refresh rate. This stuff's addictive 🤣

Also. Closing the lid with the monitor connected makes it the primary screen. But it happens INSTANTLY. I'm used to it showing black screens and switching stuff and visibly resizing windows for solid 5 seconds. It's magic 🤯
