It's fine
Clean, basically as user intuitive as ever, and has little trouble running up to 3 display monitors so you can easily work with several tools at once.
Works well, but I admit it's a bit of a fangirl thing with stupid Apple more than anything. An intelligent person could put together a much more powerful machine with half what I paid for this machine. But this rose gold, tho.

Small, but powerful for anything.
I'm using this for editing my set, 4k editing on final cut pro & premiere pro, and performance arts... but one problem is one usb-c... but it's not a big deal for me...
Lucky to find cheap on the web
Great if the right ingredients are installed to work properly for other daws.
