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

[Slash787]

I am confused, with the same chip, what will be the difference between the Macbook Pro and Air?

 

[Rogifan]

I’m a little surprised the first Macs with their own silicon didn’t get a redesign. Even if it was just different color to differentiate from existing Intel Macs.

 

[Maconplasma]

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

What do ya know. Someone complaining a Mac is too cheap. 🙄

 

[Kylo83]

the pro should have a better chip than the air, its now not really a pro

 

[Sugarcubes]

Okay, but what even IS the best selling Windows laptop in its class?????

 

[mannyvel]

Note that the mini has TB4 and Wifi 6. It looks like M1 is throttled on the Air, and unleashed on the MBP 13.

 

[northernerchris]

Fans 😭

 

[grad]

So, MBP = MBA + fan ?

 

[Darth Tulhu]

Battery life...GOD. DAMN.

 

[edk99]

I am confused, with the same chip, what will be the difference between the Macbook Pro and Air?

The FAN!!

 

[Slash787]

wait a second.....so the PRO has a better battery life than the AIR ?

 

[retta283]

Aha, wonder if the fan being gone on Air impacts performance. Great battery life on MBP

 

[clangers23]

'Even with all this unbelievable compute power we're still able to give you bezels from 2014'

 

[ThisBougieLife]

So...still same 720p webcam.

I know I'm a broken record, but man, I feel like this is something that will never change. Probably due to the limitations of the thin lid.

 

[DanielDD]

I am confused, with the same chip, what will be the difference between the Macbook Pro and Air?

Better thermals = better sustained performance and probably higher wattage

 

[naturalstar]

That camera is still 720P?

 

[D.T.]

The battery life specs are nuts, but we knew that would be major advantage of ASi.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Apple seems to keep pushing machine learning with the M1. It now with the MBP this product manager cannot even state what software benefits from it.

She needs more training to know the products in depth and at fault the managers snr failed in what would be and not discussed.

 

[greenmeanie]

13" looks good to me.

 

[fel10]

I think Im stiking with my 16 in. All I use it for college. Plus im already spending money on the new iPhone and PS5

 

[Kastellen]

I can't believe they are still pushing the touchbar whyyyy

Because people use it. Apple has the numbers. If it didn't get use, they'd drop it.

 

[PBG4 Dude]

the pro should have a better chip than the air, its now not really a pro

“Up to” 8 cores.

 

[edk99]

wait a second.....so the PRO has a better battery life than the AIR ?

Yeah bigger battery in Pro

 

[dinobear]

Pro has fans so it can run the same chip faster than air.

 

[yegon]

New Apple display to go with the new mac mini?

That footage amused me, display 10x* the price of the accompanying computer

*roughly, assuming matte display + stand, pedants
