When iMac 27 will be migrated to new CPU I would not be able to afford 32Gb of RAM for +690€ or 64Gb for +1150€
Just got 32Gb of RAM for my iMac for about 100€ ( and are on top of 8Gb shipped with iMac )

aren't most laptops now sold Chromebooks tho. it's hard to say without knowing exactly what they are comparing to.
Heh... I wonder if anybody's ever dozed off in the middle of a keynote speech
Wake me up when I can get 32GB RAM and a 4TB drive.
What? Intel can't come close to doing an M1 competitor. Their chip fabrication capability, which used to be - years ago - the gold standard, is now so far behind that they cannot possibly make a competing chip. Not to mention they aren't the same cpu instruction set, to begin with.
Man, you dangerously underestimate the competition. Intel has more market momentum than Apple and it has the capacity to produce a competing "M1" product.
It's interesting the lower spec model has one less GPU-core on the MBA. I wonder if they have the same chip with one core disabled by Apple or if it's one that didn't bin as well or what happened there.
Also, is the M1 in the MBA/Pro the same chip then? Just one gets a fan?
I think even as a non-apple fanboy this news is exciting...Intel can't rest on their laurels now that AMD is eating their top end and Apple removing them from the bottom/middle end of their supply chain. Should be a win for consumers at the end of the day.

Please explain what your first sentence means, and why your second sentence doesn’t apply to these new machines.
I guess the ram being twice as fast and optimized for the chip and OS means they need less to significantly increase performance while decreasing battery drain caused by extra ram even when it is idle.You could say the same thing about megapixels, or clock speed, or terabytes, etc. More isn't always better. The unified memory architecture will be far more beneficial to the vast majority of buyers as opposed to a 32GB RAM option. The Pro models with Apple silicon and gobs of RAM will come soon enough, just be patient
Macduke is saying they slapped these chips into machines that were designed for Intel chips from the start instead of from the ground up for Apple silicon.
I feel like that answer is maybe half true. It seems the Intel silicon should have never been in these in the first place, especially as they are always overheating/thermal throttling. I think Apple expected more from Intel (less heat issues/more power) and they didn't get it and decided "well, guess we gotta do it ourselves!"
15 hours is wild battery life. I may "upgrade" in a few years.

Anyone know if you can install apps from anywhere or did they finally lock it down to the Mac App Store!!
So adobe products won’t be ready until early next year. MATLAB will run on Rosetta 2, but no idea about performance. There is no FORTRAN compiler, no scipy, ... The 8-core CPU is really a 4-core CPU if you want to run parallel code. The GPU is lower TFLOPS than the 5300m. What is a numerical modeler to do but buy an Intel based machine?
So far all I see is an iPad Pro with a keyboard, tell me I’m wrong.

Doing it this way generates speculation and headlines when people get their hands on them to actually run geekbench.p et al.
Genius marketing strategy, if annoying.
Looks like we'll never again discuss anything-hertz again with Macs, it's all just here's the chip, it's faster, deal with it.
my 16” is absolutely terrible with the heat on windows especially if I’m doing anything intensive (like I’d play rocket league or MCC). MacOS is alright but it sounds like these chips are gonna be way more efficient and cooler which is what I want. No more jet taking off of my lap
Higher performance (CPU & GPU), significantly longer battery life and being cooler, all at the same price, are if I think about it probably the top features I would wish for a notebook.
However I think they spoiled the keynote by repeating the same facts over and over again.
So here’s the M1, which is faster while more efficient. Here’s the new old MBA which as you heard is faster and has longer battery life. Here’s the new old MBP which is slightly less faster and also has longer battery life. Here’s the new old Mac Mini which is similarly faster. Tim Cook: what a day - we released the three products we just were talking about just a minute ago, and let me recap the features you already heard four times.
This Keynote could have been 15 minutes and might have benefitted from it.
