I agree with the annual thing.
But this year it looks like that it’s 2 chips within 9 months.
Very strange! Probably M2 wasn’t selling so good…🤔
Got a tip for us?

Does M2 Ultra feels slow? It is crazy fast
Well said. Also users and even many visitors here didn’t understand Pro chip are better than basic ones, example M1 Pro is superior to M2. But as you can read in comments when Apple release new base chip, there is a lot of confusion. Releasing Pro chip before makes things clear.
Well, depends who you ask but M2 Ultra is indeed slow for a lot of people.
I hope the raytracing will solve that for lot of us that need it.

I think it's also that M2 Pro/Max was supposed to be released last fall, but "supply chain issues" delayed the release until January. The plan was a yearly release. Sure, they don't "need" a MacBook Pro update every year, but doing so boosts sales, so there's no reason for them not to do it.
Valid point.

Nevertheless - New stuff is always good - hopefully this is a bigger leap ahead and sets up for some monsters being released in the next iterations.
Looking forward to it.
That's literally what the entry level specs are right now
You should contact the SEC with your theory, let's see what they say.
Here I will point out that short-term models (less than 72 hours) has gotten pretty good for weather forecasting. This is due in no small part because satellites track parameters of the lower and upper atmosphere quite well.
Much better than Kuo or Gurman does with Apple. Although they do ok within .... 24 hours .... or so of an event.
That's why Apple offers a wide spectrum of storage choices on their iPads... 64/128/256/512.
Wait, nevermind...
I'm not sure if I'd even say "a lot of people" own an M2 Ultra device so I feel confident saying that "a lot of people" haven't said they find it slow. What's your source?
You can have it in any color you want, my good sir, as long as it's grey.Can I have mine in the colour Lavender?
I meant those that didn't buy it because its slow. Here is what I meant:
With Apple Silicon you have GPU and CPU in one package and can't really do anything about it.
3D artists or people who need raytracing etc. for complex scenes or development don't get the same results as they do from Nvidia etc. so they don't buy AS because for them its still slow.
My hopes are that the M3 will solve 'most' of the issues and 3D artist (and others) who rely on this stuff will be able to jump on the AS train.
Thats what I meant. For some tasks M1 and M2 is just not there yet but M3 should hopefully solve it. We shall see on monday what they bring to the table and what the roadmap will look like.

I was for long time thinking why Apple is putting its high tech in low cost products first. It can make sense from production point of view but from marketing or financial. It seems that production and design of M chips has matured enough that they can go Pro first. Intel/NVidian performance is good so Apple needs to move forward faster.
Yes, it's fast. That's good. What I'm saying is M3 Max should be as fast or faster than M2 Ultra. Otherwise not much point in M3.
For now that’s true, but people said that about PowerPC’s performance slipping against Intel’s too
Does this exist?
1) a site I could glance at as a "second screen" during the keynote where I can see various smart people's immediate reactions to what's being presented.
2) NOT a site that only repeats what I just saw on my big screen (via Apple TV).
3) NOT the Apple keynote channel on Discord. I've tried that on the past 2 keynotes. There was just too much raunch and swearing mixed in with some truly interesting insights and comments. I stopped watching it both times.

Well, Apple finally got rid of it today. I think that was a very good decision.
Long live the new Pro (and Air).
I remember you writing this and wanted to tell you that if you live near an Apple store they will more than likely let you return it even if you are past your return date. Generally, they are pretty kind about purchasing something as expensive as their laptops and allowing them to be returned even if they are past the two week return point as long as its not a crazy long time.
The problem with this is "smart people" is subjective. To a lot of people, that'd mean someone who thinks like them.
I would pay 3-4k grands easily, they don't need to add the add the XDR pro display technology, a cheaper 218 dpi display is enough 😅
Yeah, I called Apple and they accepted to do a return.
