Ironic to have the PC since MSFT hardware has felt more Apple esqe than Apple the last few years.
Some people should realize not everybody is going to have the same sense of humor.
The chips are great but why on Earth would they limit the devices to two Thunderbolt ports and only 16gb RAM
We literally have no idea how they perform because there were no numbers or references given, just vague handwaving at "others in their class".
THIS IS THE BIGGEST FRAUD EVER IN APPLE KEYNOTE HISTORY
Wow. You can't even customize the 13-inch Pro beyond 16GB of RAM. Is this a step down or is it like iPhone where less RAM is equivalent to more on Android?
Industry leading perfomance? Haha, yeah... I didn't see a single live application, etc. how the M1 performs. And 1.9x speed etc. means nothing.
Missed this as was commuting, but looking at the coverage here I do like the statement "World's fastest CPU core" did they go into this at all? As that's fairly bold statement considering what the new Ryzen chips can push or is more of a case ours is the fastest in the world at this task?
Faster than 98% of laptops sold. How many laptops with a Ryzen 4800U?
Reading the specs, it should be quite competitive with this chip. Especially when you move away from your charger.
Improvements such as... no seriously, what improvements are you enjoying, the start up chime? 32bit compatibility is gone, as are legacy apps I've been using forever thanks to that. Notifications are more annoying than ever and harder to silence for some reason.
I want to be more positive about it but have been struggling, so if you could list some improvements you've been enjoying I'd love to see them.
I wouldn't give them that much credit. I would say anyone complaining about this keynote is a paid employee from one of Apple's PC competitors. They are pissed because Apple's show was filled with innovations. I don't see any innovations from any of Apple's competitors. I mean wake me up when Dell creates it's own processor chip that manages battery, security, performance and along with their own OS. Yeah that won't happen.
Also, you're thinking of AMD/Intel Thermal/Power ratio. That's one of the reasons they moved to ARM. Less Thermal/Power issues. And give the size of these things heatsinks would go further than inside a tablet or phone.
