I love it(in context of FreeBSD):

—————

What does not work: Keyboard, mouse, TB & USB-C ports, thermal/freq mgt.

Conclusion: Highly recommended

That was a bit ironic, indeed, but at least the USB-A works!

For what it's worth, the majority of mechanical RGB keyboards and mice are USB-A anyways, so, if you're fine with a very powerful machine that wouldn't have an internal keyboard support for a few weeks, sounds like a good advice anyways!

An ARM64 is "a very powerful computer"? The whole promise with ARM is better thermals and long battery life, not screaming performance. With the thermals/cpu not working, we don't even get that.

M4 crushing benchmarks and AWS running Graviton 2 would disagree on the idea of "whole premise".

If you consider Geekbench a good benchmark...

It is a start. A wrong one, but still a start. /s
