Do you or someone else know how the performance and the stability of corona run through Rosetta is? I need a Notebook for homeoffice and the 14‘ MacBook Pro would be perfect except Corona isn’t natively supported yet.

I have it working on my macbook air m1. Its ok, crashes now and I think because the 16Gb is too limited. I would suggest to get as much ram as you can and that applies to any system really.
I am hoping Corona Render will have a native apple silicon version ready as soon as possible. Its one of the very few great render plugins available for the mac.

I'm using on mac mini m1 8gb ram.... I guess it would depend on how complex is your scene, for my type of work it runs ok ( Not great). I'm following the roadmap and I see the next step is to release a daily build for m1 and hopefully it will have a better memory management.

Just to chime in here, I've been using an M1 Mini 16GB with Corona since May without any issues. I still team render big jobs to my old PC purely because it's faster (Threadripper) but tbh I rarely turn it on these days. Corona is stable and pretty fast on M1 under Rosetta. The only crashes I get are when messing with cloners or SurfaceSpread or MultiCloner.. For some reason any tweak of clones with the IPR running will crash it. I"m pretty sure it's just a memory issue.
I REALLY hope there's an M1 native version coming.
I've ordered a 64GB M1 Max Mac Pro so when it turns up later this month I'll report back on how Corona runs with all that extra RAM.
I'm using Cinema R20 by the way. Can't see any reason to upgrade until Corona goes Native M1. :-)
Philw:
I've got a M1 Max ordered too. The native M1 is in the dev Trello for v8 at some point - currently marked as some internal testing done. So looking forward to silent scene building. Similar to you my Threadripper is great for Corona but I'm a Mac boy (man) at heart.
