What you’re saying he’s saying still doesn’t make sense. Coffee Lake is a CPU while M1 is a SoC, they’re not functionally interchangeable. The two boards are very different, so I don’t see how there was any “slapping.” I’d like to hear the explanation from him.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!"
Totally agree. I have been saying this for years… Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave!!It's optimized!
Two ports instead of four...the ports are optimized!
You know what's optimized? Apple's profits.
Hardware is overpriced and underpowered garbage.
Hope they are able to deliver more powerful professional machines with adequate levels of RAM and discrete GPUs in the future. A redesign would also be nice with a 14" MBP.
As I've said all along, it doesn't make much sense to buy into this right away. Things will improve as apps are made native, bugs are worked out, and Apple can build upon what they've already shown us hardware wise. Think how quickly things accelerated from the A4 in the first iPad. These early machines are largely Intel Macs with Apple Silicon. I'm looking forward to see what a Mac is like that's completely redesigned around this new silicon. I'm planning to get the 2nd or third generation.
So the Mac Mini is the same dimensions? Does anyone know of a mount that can hold the mini and magnetically attach to the side of my PC?
I wish Apple had done their keynote in 6 minutes, instead of dragging it on and on with filler material.
Are we going to get 8TB hard drive + 64GB ram options on the 2021 16-inch MBP?
Airbags are AirPower pro Max
For real though when the **** can we get a MPB with a touchscreen?
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.
Totally agree. I have been saying this for years… Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave!!
I think it's pretty self explanatory, but, let me elaborate and make a few assumptions on macduke's behalf.What you’re saying he’s saying still doesn’t make sense. Coffee Lake is a CPU while M1 is a SoC, they’re not functionally interchangeable. The two boards are very different, so I don’t see how there was any “slapping.” I’d like to hear the explanation from him.
Airbags (stupid autocorrect) or the other one 😊 ?Love how you just invented a new Apple product!![]()
I've been thinking about this. Perhaps AirTags have been held for release until all new Apple platforms have devices with UWB. I believe Apple wants to do far more than "Find my [XXX]" with AirTags -- the precise real-time location functionality lends itself well to AR/VR and other gaming applications. "Dance Dance" type games should be a slam-dunk, as will others.I should give up hoping to see AirTags ever released
Yes, I have a High Sierra Nov 2011 MBP that I chucked in 16GB RAM and swapped in a SSD. Still happily chugging away, but I have just ordered a Mac Mini M1, so the MBP will become my back-up machine or if I want to be ‘mobile’ at home...Yes... I doubt they will be 10-years usable like 2010 to 2013 Macs. A 2010 white Macbook is still a decent machine for browsing, even more with a SSD and 8GB of RAM (although it supports 16GB). My 2013 MBP will certainly be usable in 2023 even if stuck with Catalina (which is the case actually) just like High Sierra Macs are pretty usable in 2020.
My delivery of the m1 pro is showing today. Is anyone else who ordered show in the tracking delivery today?Yes! I ordered the MacBook Pro 13” looking forward to delivery next week
