Macbook pro M1 for development with Laravel tools?
I did have a few issues early on, but no issues the past two months. A Valet/Docker conflict happened to be resolved by newer Docker release. I had to perform a clean install of macOS after a Big Sur upgrade failure. Homebrew was updated in February to run natively on M1, meaning PHP and other Homebrew-installed apps are very fast!
