I tried the 13in M1 on the same 4096x4096 I play on the 2018 and it doesn't work as well so I am holding out for a better graphics core on M1x, M2 or whatever they will call it. Starting from routine office work like writing, editing documents to watching multimedia content and there wasn’t even a hint of any kind of lag and stutter. We used the MacBook Pro 15-inch to perform all kinds of tasks.

All the M1 13in I have used so far have been fantastic but everyone I helped needed adapters for their drives, keyboards, and video. The MacBook 15-inch Pro doesn’t suffer from any such issues and not only does it talk the talk but also walk the walk. I am desperate for a 16in with a real HDMI port and I would give anything not to need a dock, dongles, and adapters to USB 3.0. I know not to use the keyboard to heavily and I never eat around it. The 2018 MacBook Pro will satisfy creative professionals looking for raw power, but the cost, ongoing design issues, and lack of gaming prowess will keep others away. No thermal issues and a bit better graphics than the 2017 but the ongoing spat with Nvidia that apparently will never be put to rest hurts us all.

Yes I bought the 2018 also and it has worked fine. I kept using the 2015 when mine came back and then kept the 2017 around for my 4K video player needs but was afraid to put too much use into it. When the keyboard started failing I went back to my 2015 and sent the 2017 in for keyboard repair. On the 2017 it was pretty good performance and 4K external.

On the 2016 15in I couldn't reliably pull off 4K 60Hz and of course keyboard space bar and dongles. I had the 2016, 2017, and 2018 all of which had issues of their own.
