[mannyvel]

but only 8 threads - and remember 4 of those cores are "high efficiency".

That's fine, because all the background stuff that's used by MacOS can use the HE cores. The the UI and frontmost app gets the four HP cores. Or at least that's how it should work.

 

[Apple_Robert]

This sounds like the old MacBook but on M1 steroids.

 

[naturalstar]

18 hours of battery life... wow

 

[Justin L Franks]

But I'm not a fan. I'm a MacBook Air. With no fan!

 

[mcdawg]

Secure enclave...FaceID on a mac.

Well, I got to appreciate the optimism on this count for 15 mintues.
But nope, guess it's still stuck on touch Id.
Lame.

 

[harriska2]

18 hours of battery?

 

[Dave245]

Wow, that’s impressive! No fan either.

 

[northernerchris]

TouchID for the Air new or nah?

 

[Moakesy]

That performance for they price is amazing.

I’m impressed

 

[Aston441]

would be nice if they could find a way to take this new "touch id" tech and transfer it to iPhone

 

[widestload]

No fan is good, but what about new screen tech, more ports, thinner bezel, Face ID? And is the camera actually higher res?

 

[grad]

What's the bet they still start the air off at 128GB?

128GB storage and 4GB RAM would be so Apple.

 

[Nismo73]

Looks like it starts at 8gb if they say up to 16gb ram.

 

[thadoggfather]

P3 screen in M1 Air but omitted from the 2020 Air (sRGB) released in the spring?

 

[naturalstar]

Another Mac!!

 

[dinobear]

16"?
edit: mini. Makes sense all entry level things.

 

[lapeno]

mini??

 

[DeepIn2U]

Quality on Price - reduces any revenues for 1 month returns and repurchases for M1 machines.

M1 “I fight for the user!”

 

[citysnaps]

So much for using their own silicon is going to allow them to reduce their prices.

Never intended to.

 

[Jan20]

she said better camera quality?

 

[edk99]

LOL Mac mini.

 

[rhyx]

New Mac Mini!

 

[Stromos]

Its significantly cheaper to make now that we don't pay the Intel tax! So we took those savings and put it in our pockets!

 

[itsmilo]

TouchID for the Air new or nah?

yep

 

[Justin L Franks]

A new MINI?!?
