A profitable investment
Despite its high price, it is a joy to use every day. Power and autonomy at the rendezvous.

I've been using MacBook Pros for more than 10 years on a daily basis for work and as a personal computer. This new generation is the most impressive in terms of performance, but especially in terms of autonomy and silence. On the previous generations, we were used to the noise of the fans as soon as the smallest task was executed (sometimes just a video call...), and the battery melted quite quickly (it's impossible to imagine a day of work using office and internet software without charging the machine at least once).
The new 14" MacBook Pro M1 is impressive for an ARM machine, because in addition to the silence (I never heard the fans despite launching a Windows virtual machine, games like World Of Warcraft or development software), the autonomy is excellent! I easily lasted 5 hours running my Windows 11 ARM virtual machine and games inside (performance is very good for dual emulation in Windows - x86 to ARM - and then on the Mac via Windows virtualisation). Moreover, I can easily work a whole day without recharging (the fast charging is very nice by the way!), and I'm not afraid of not finding a plug when I have to take the TGV or the plane.
In conclusion: don't hesitate to take the plunge (that was my case before switching to this Mac), the time saving and comfort of use provided by this new M1 architecture is a must. It's hard to go back to the previous generations for me.
PS: thanks LDLC, order received quickly and very well packed as always!
It's a Mac, and it's no exception!
It's a Mac, which is no exception to the rule! Conforming to all the promises made by the manufacturer, it provides a user experience in continuity.
On some points, the improvements are notable (no more TOUCHBAR and adapters),
The connectivity is in the hair, etc.. The design is not so thin, and gives a feeling of solidity while being sophisticated.
The applications and other package managers run without problems so far. BIG SURPRISE!!! IPAD applications are running on it !!!!
In short, as a graphic designer/developer, this machine is perfect for me as I work on several levels of a project.
The LDLC service was responsive to my questions and requests. I am very satisfied with my order which arrived in less than 72 hours in Reunion Island.
I will not hesitate to recommend LDLC and to recommend this platform.
I am very satisfied with the product itself. The performance is good.
In 2018, I had thought big ordering a mbp 15 core i9 /32gb memory.
I was disappointed in the long run, then I took last year a mbp 13 M1 8GB, where I had as much comfort and more autonomy for the use I make of my machine.
I could be cramped with 8gb, I must say that I am in heaven with this mbp 14 M1 16gb.
It's been a treat for the past 2 weeks.
Ldlc has been efficient as usual.
Bought it to make a mobile editing station, and it perfectly meets my needs and expectations.
