Apple Event Live Coverage: Apple Silicon Macs Announced! [Full Transcript of Event]

[D.T.]

Yes, major increase in GPU (and notable increase in CPU). As soon as I sort out some development particulars, this is my next machine (replacing a 2018 i7 Mini ...)

 

[ssgbryan]

The previous quad core was an 8th generation 4core, 4 thread coffee lake CPU with Intel 630 graphics.

It would be hard not to be faster.

 

[Donga120]

USB 4!?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Battery life was all I needed to see. I'm sold once gen 2 comes out with some redesigns.

 

[!!!]

Only two USB-C ports?! i have all four filled in and both my USB-A's filled on my 2018 mini

 

[Johnny907]

HDMI 2.0, not 2.1? Huh... odd choice.

 

[Sugarcubes]

I really wish that they’d actually give concrete comparisons rather than saying it’s “faster than the top-selling desktop in its class”.

 

[Darth Tulhu]

Man, that Apple Campus is GORGEOUS.

I love these reveal vids FAR more than the cringy Steve Jobs-less events.

 

[citysnaps]

Nice price!

 

[mrgraff]

Thank goodness I'm not playing a "ML" drinking game.

 

[Justin L Franks]

Only 2 TB ports down from 4 on the 2018?!?

 

[Joelist]

Well, right now the MacBook Air becomes the most powerful Mac laptop by a good deal.

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Wait. Who are these people using a $6k display setup with a Mac mini?

I wish Apple made a smaller lower-cost 4K monitor. I don't like that you either buy the XDR monitor you have to go third party.

 

[yaxomoxay]

$699 wow

 

[kirkj1s]

NEW DISPLAY PLEASE!!!!

 

[UBS28]

Wait, so the Mini needs a fan but the Air doesn't? I'm confused....

Thermal throttling.

 

[EdT]

Ok. Already 19 pages. Is the silent keyboard a code word for butterfly keys?

 

[jinnyman]

they don't mention the ram capacity..

 

[Moakesy]

Well I hope this stops people moaning all the time

But I doubt it.

 

[nezr]

nice price!

 

[grad]

MBA and MacMini was my prediction the day Apple announced Apple silicon long ago.

But I said fanless for MacMini as well, so that you can use it as something on your desktop or under your TV. I don't see why this one needs a fan while MBA does not.

 

[nol2001]

Well done for including Wi-Fi 6

 

[rhyx]

Mac Mini limited to 16GB RAM.

 

[Maconplasma]

I wish Apple made a smaller lower-cost 4K monitor. I don't like that you either buy the XDR monitor you have to go third party.

Agreed. I'm only hoping for this too.

 

[itsmilo]

Only 699$??? Does that mean it will start without M1 and going higher in price from there? Seems so cheap
