I bought a new Intel 13" MBP just before the M1 announcement specifically because I needed an x86 machine.

No intention to sell but I suspect resale value will stay OK as there is likely to be ongoing demand from those who want a Mac for x86 cloud development (and non-technical users probably don't care if its x86 or M1).



My shop is also all x86 in the cloud... but I took the plunge anyway. I'm glad I did; Rosetta 2 works really well.


That's good to hear. The critical issue for me would be running an x86 (incldung AVX) Docker image on M1. Reasonably sure that's not going to happen in the near future.


FWIW I think they've got QEMU baked in to docker desktop to emulate x86. But I've just been using a remote docker daemon.


Thanks - that'a really helpful to know. I'm not sure that QEMU has AVX but will investigate further.
