Still, I think I am going to pull the trigger. Test it out in Logic Pro X, and if I run into issues, I will just return it (and consider ordering the 16GB variant).

These systems are fast and you got to remember, this is a 1st gen product. Apple's slowest chips on Apple's lowest end hardware. A $999 Mac Air is smoking my 2019 and 2017 MB 16 & 15 Pros in things that matter to me.
The experience is like an iPad. Canon r5 4k, 10-bit HDR 4k video scrubs 4-5 layers like butter. Renders a 10 minute clip in 4 minutes that take my $4k Macbook 16 which 45 watt CPU 16 minutes. That is amazing..
However,having said that. I am holding out due to lack of Docker/Kubernetes compatibility. But if my job wasnt docker. I would go all out.
The unified memory architecture means there is no bottleneck. You can open up 30 apps and they instantly load. The experience is like an iPad.

It's the standard Visa warranty. Costo concierge before manufacturer's warranty ends is completely useless however. Before the Visa warranty, you deal with Apple directly for warranty. Visa/Costco will refuse to help you if Apple deems that the damage is not covered by warranty.

Seriously! I am not a fan of Apple or I literally hate Windows systems, a very inefficient slow and crap product, still I use Windows/Linux and Apple products in my day in day out life. I have my own Linux Machine which I use on daily basis, having said that, Apple is nothing more than a glorified UNIX/Linus machine with nice expensive packaging.
I use Ubuntu with less than half these specs and it runs like a champ.
I am a fan of technology not brand, and I believe technology should be cheaper and companies should stop fooling people.
Unless you have seen the results, you can't say anything negative about Apple, especially now. M1 is a beast and this is just the beginning.
