For example, Adobe already has M1 versions of Lightroom and Photoshop. If you're concerned about compatibility, well, more and more developers are releasing M1-versions of their apps. Apple uses a tool called Rosetta to translate these apps to work with its own M1, and most of them run just as well if not better. Perhaps more surprising is the excellent performance, even in apps made for Intel-powered machines. Battery life is great, easily lasting more than a full workday. Apple upgraded this 13-incher in November 2020 ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends), ditching Intel chips for its own M1 processor.
