I have the M1 MBP and I'm running:
1. Outlook
2. Teams (chat & constant calls)
3. Chrome (second teams instance)
4. Powerpoint (multiple)
5. Excel (multiple)
6. Word
7. Safari (forum + multiple other tabs)
8. Slack
9. Messages
10. Sonos controller
I have these across 4 desktops on a 49" 5120 x 1440 monitor.

Everything is silky smooth.

So....what? I have broadly similar on a 2018 intel MBP.

The point is with this release they are not targeting people who need to do that (or heavy image processing stuff) - they are targeting people who want a computer to do communications and entertainment, hence the low(er) amount of RAM. That the M1 can do all that with a bigger screen and twice the RAM is kind of missing the point.

Cool.

My point was that the 8Gb of ram is not a barrier to running multiple CPU / ram hungry apps whilst outputting a shit tonne of pixels.
