Why I Dislike My M1 MacBook Pro

Welcome back everyone, when these M1 MacBooks first came out I was kind of hesitant to pick it up, but I did finally purchase it, and I do have a few complaints about this MacBook. One of my biggest complaints about this MacBook is, for some reason, these MacBooks just don’t work too well with other external displays. Now, it would be one thing if I was using some random manufacturer’s display, but that’s not the case, i’m literally using a display that was built by Apple and LG (the lg ultrafine 5k display), and for some reason that display just doesn’t work too well with these MacBooks, maybe it’s because these MacBooks need to be updated, but it was an issue I was experiencing for a while.

These display issues don’t really go away until I fully restart the MacBook, this was a very annoying issue for sure. Personally, I believe Apple messed something up with these M1 MacBooks, it’s almost as if you even touch the wire a little bit the display becomes a bit finicky, I’ve tried several different displays and I still experience the same issue. I’ve also seen a few complaints about these MacBooks as well on Reddit about the same issue, so it could have been a new little issue that Apple has fixed since then.
