Apple M1 Max Geekbench Score

I share the same feeling, and I'm glad to learn I'm not alone: earlier this year I worked for a (really) sort time with a company who gave me a Macbook M1, which I was pretty excited about.

Over the course of the two weeks I worked there, I faced:

- frequent glitches when unplugging the HDMI adaptor (an Apple one, which costed an arm and a leg).

- non-compatible software (Docker, Sublimetext)

- and even a Kernel Panic while resuming from hibernation

It was like working with Linux in the 2000's, but at least with Linux I knew it was gonna be a bit rough on the edges. Given the hype found online, I wasn't at all prepared for such an experience.

What was the issue with Sublime? I use it on an M1 every day without issue.

I don't remember exactly, but I couldn't use it.

Keep in mind this was in Jan/Feb 2021, so I'd expect software compatibility with the new chip to have improved dramatically.

Docker is now faster than on my work Intel MBP, fwiw. If was pretty bad in winter 21 though.
