Hi, does anyone here work with or use Vivado (full time or just ocasionally) on macbooks with M-series CPUs?
I mainly work on two desktop computers (both are Linux machines), but I also need more mobile machine as I often find myself working on projects "in the field" or showing things at various meetings. My current notebook has completely died (brand starting with the letter D 😉*). Since I already own a few things from the Apple, I'd be leaning toward their laptops (I used a MBP for over 5 years, from ~2012 to ~2018).*
But... the completely different information about Vivado's performance on Apple silicon is quite red flag for me. At the moment I have no way of testing that, as no one in my job and social environment has a Mac with ARM.
To preemptively address any suggestions about buying something else on x86 - 80% of my work can be done on Mac: I mainly deal with various PDF documents, high level apps/ scripts, PCB schematic analysis in Altium/ KiCad (I'm not doing any design work), prepairing presentations and also remote desktop connections to servers with Vivado IDE.
