excellent interface with a bunch of additonal plug ins
The hardware is simply amazing, its versatile, easy to use and you dont need a power supply it gets it power straight from the Macbook. I did only put 4 stars on the features and overall because at that price they should include the TB3 cable, that is simply not acceptable.
As far as the plug ins go, they are incredible, the only problem is figuring out what you actually have included in this heritage bundle, so you will need the internet since nowhere else is it mentioned. When you register you get an offer to buy addtionnal plug in packs at an incredible price but be careful, figure out what you already own before building your pack or you might end up including one you already own.
Its a truly amazing product, but UA make it very hard for you to just use only the plug ins you have, slowing your workflow by user interface tricks to get you to try out and purchase more plug ins, and thats a shame as it gets annoying.
oh and dont buy any plug in for its full price as you will get regular offers with massive discounts for the plug ins.

Overall Good
Due to limited processing power you will most likely not get a lot of use out of the UAD Plugins, that wasn't my reason for my puchase anyways, as i just wanted a interface i was used to (UAD Twin) and the minimalistic optics - compared to a lot of the competitors' overcomplicated and frankly *ugly* design - definitely made me go with the Apollo Solo. So far it does its job as an interface well, it feels well built and high quality (again, compared to certain competitors absolute TRASH plastic interfaces) , if and when i will upgrade, i will most likely stay with UAD.

Great Interface, Super sound, but Unreliable Software
I returned this mainly due to my M1 Macbook crashing and being unstable when it is connected, also my plugins don't engage correctly with it. Support for M1 Macs seems not yet native or correct. Sadly I really liked the sound of the interface and it looks and feels great! The hardware team did a fantastic job, just the software and drivers completely fails this.
