At what settings? I got both 16" M1 Max and M3 Max. At a location where M3 Max gives out 55-60 fps, M1 Max gives out 40-45 fps. Coolers are almost at maximum and M3 is very hot. If you play at 1920x1080 or FSR then yes, it can be flawlessly, but it's too low resolution for me.
They have already tried to leave only USB-C ports in models until 2021, it was a bad experience. Professionals need ports like HDMI
In 2021 all my conference rooms had HDMI cables and so did my monitors. In 2024 none of my monitors or conference rooms have them They all have USB C
Agree on the SD card port. Although I haven't used that either and was never bothered by a small SD card reader that i kept in my camera bag. But eliminating the HDMI port enables things to get thinner b/c it is the thickest of all of them. Or maybe enables more battery space.
I hope they put the same one that's in the studio display. That thing is bonkers good
I read the the thickness of the FaceID module in the iphone is almost as thick as the phone. So to figure out how to make it thin enough to be in the top part of a laptop would be quite the engineering feat
I don't have any issue with the current size of the MBP. If they can figure out a thinner laptop without compromising on ports AND keeping the keyboard as good as the current one + without heat issues, then by all means. If not, it's totally fine to have what we have now.
SD card port is also a big one for those professionals who use it, like myself. It really has made the experience so much better with this model.
Potentially a smaller notch? The current module is fairly large and has camera and two sensors in it as well as mounting hardware.
You can but that takes smart engineering and I’m not so sure Apple has the talent it needs to pull it off. They have chased away some good talented engineers.
M1 Pro. I have 32 GB of RAM though, which might help. I just play on the laptop monitor and haven't noticed any major slowdowns in late game. I mainly play it on my desktop running Windows (Ryzen 5900x, RTX 3070), but it looks and seems to run about the same between the two systems. It's not something I really benchmark. I just play the game with the highest graphics quality and screen resolution.
I wonder if they could just stretch the hardware out horizontally opposed to have it thick
Really?!?! I dunno. Seems like no one out there comes out with better engineered hardware. I agree with you on software. But on the hardware side, no one beats apple.
I dont think they'd make a pro laptop thinner if it meant compromises elsewhere. They made that mistake once.
I dunno. The camera in the studio display is WAYY better than the one in the MBP. Would really love that
Yes, but you will always sacrifice faster for thinner. If you give ANY processor more cooling, more power, and more room to breathe, you'll ALWAYS be able to have faster than if you didn't.
Rather presumptuous of you to think everyone has the disposable income for the high end Macs.
