No way on the RAM, if they had a way to add non integrated RAM, they'd have shown it, as it would be major.

I think I was thinking the 14” woiled be the 13” replacement… so just was planning on buying my daughter the base model…. It’s fine, just disappointing, she currently has the last Intel version, I think I only paid 1299 for that one.
Not a fan of the notch but if I understand correctly it's not space subtracted from the usual monitor, they just increased its size and moved the menu on it.. so I actually expect to see the whole "camera" bar black when stuff is running fullscreen.
Will Apple Music's Voice Plan bring back a 28 year old Egg Freckles moment for Tim? Wait and see. Hopefully, it'll be catching on!

Hi guys. I have a 2020 (2018) Mac-mini (3ghz, 6 core i5, 16gb with a intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB) - I’m
Struggling to run Final Cut Pro plug- ins which need 2mb of graphics as I only have 1536. - Am I right that the base 14 wouldn’t struggle with this task?

Actually our 2015 MBP for $1100 had 128gb ssd (now upgraded to 512) and 8 gb memory. It is slow as crap and has been for at least 3-4 years now. The 14” is $1800 with military discount and has 2x memory and 4x ssd with bigger everything else. I was hoping it would be $1400-$1500.
They did, had two bays, you could buy 1 extra battery iirc or an optical drive, might have had more options, I had the Pismo.
Don't overdo it, I own a 2012 Mac Mini, it still runs surprisingly well.
I have a 2018 mini I updated the memory myself to 32gb and has a 1tb drive. Cost $1500 with higher ed discount. Today the mini is about $200 less for same specs with m1. Don’t know how well the mbp hooks to a 4k monitor …
Better than the POS 2014 mini I bet. I was shocked at the regression is usability on that device, it barely pulls its weight in simply driving two TV’s on the office wall (just refreshing dashboards in Safari).
There's one weak spot, graphics, but manageable for normal daily stuff.
I have Monterey running on it, with Graphic patches, some glitches here and there, but runs OK.
People comparing the base 14” pro to the 13” are comparing apples and oranges. The M1 MBP is the comparable to the 2015. This is a whole new breed. This is a smaller high end mbp
1994... me repeating "My voice is my passport... my voice is my passport... my voice is my passport" to my PowerMac 6100AV... (with lots of swearing not included here).
Besides the tech, I don't quite get what the concept is in having a subscription plan for speech only, but I am 47 so maybe there's some aspect of usage/adoption with Zoomers that I'm not aware of?
Right... the MacBook vs. MacBook Pro price points have been so consistent for years that I had figured out, exactly, what the new price points would be for the M1 MacBook Pro's based on the discount of the M1 MacBook 13" vs. the Intel MacBook 13".
That is, the previous Intel MacBook Pro models had base price points of $2399 and $2799. The new MacBook Pro models have price points of $1999 and $2499... discount of $300 from Intel to M1, exactly as the 13 inch model.
The CONFUSION seems to arise from the fact that, if you go to this page, now they're calling the 13" a "MacBook Pro" when in previous years they never had. Note that this is not a 10 Core M1 Pro. It's an 8 Core M1. So it is still, fundamentally, the successor to the 13" MacBook.
I've no opinion on whether the rebranding makes sense or not... But it doesn't seem consistent with older strategies to include the M1 in the same strata as the M1 Pro. Different generation processor with different capabilities, and very different hardware feature sets and design cues.
The previous M1's have had a seriously bad time with connecting displays. RGB issues and all sorts of nonsense for many people. Once I see folks are connecting two 27's with little or no problem I'll be opting for a 16", 1TB, Max. That should be the last computer I will ever need to own, although I think I might have said that with the 512K Mac...then with the MacPlus and then....and then...
could be an easy SW fix: move the menubar down a bit and make the top black. Somebody probably already writing some code - 0.99$ in the apple store...
There was a Friday delivery?
(have not waded through this ever growing thread fast enough)
I pulled the trigger on the base line 14" and got a 10/26 delivery.
If this thing is love at first sight I will have to sell this M1 iPad....
Well I had several occasions when I need to plug video from specific side. If you work on a desk is kind of ok, but can still be clunky. But when you have a gig, sometimes cables come from different sides and it can be quite a pain in the ass when you need to weave around, especially if you plug other things. I also had occasion when plugging from one side was possible, but not the other due tk the cord being too short.
is not the end of the world, but is less versatile this way.
Not sure what your talking about...for since pretty much 2012ish the base 13" Macbook Pro Intel or MBP M1 has essentially just been a slightly more powerful Macbook Air. In the last intel years, it was ussually just higher clock speeds and a little better integrated graphics. In the M1 era they were almost identical outside of fans for sustained cooling and the toughbar. I personally think we will see the 13" M1 pro go away because there is almost no reason to get it over the M1 air outside of a very very minor bump in specs and better battery. I have no problem with these prices. To me this is actually gotten cheaper. A pro level laptop with real power used to be $2400 minimum , now I can get a 14" with more power than any mac in history prior to today for $2000.
