Are they doing the same to Apple fansLMAO
Is Apple giving me a free roof over my head? Food on my table? Supporting me through school?
5400. You need to go to the next size up to get 7200!
Would be funny if you can even get an external magnetic drive for Mac, if someone would compare the fastest one to the internal SSDFeels like 5000 RPM, definitely not 7200 RPM.![]()
Agree. At least the components for the same model of a later version should be equal to or better. Maybe even slightly worse, but not 30%-50%M2 has to be better than the M1. It’s one more
100%. I have an 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD M1, and I have never noticed the slightest slowdown when hitting the swap. It's pretty amazing honestly.Having a M1 Air, the SSD speed is extremely important. I noticed this immediately when, after opening up a few apps, the 8GB started limiting at around 7GB and the swap usage became increasingly larger but the performance did not slow down! This meant the SSD speed was fast enough to substitute for RAM without appreciable cost. If the SSD has half the speed then going from base M1 to base M2 will not be an upgrade but a downgrade in performance. Potential purchasers should know this!
People disagreeing with YOU (to the positive) about Apple doesn't make them fanboys...it just means they disagree with you. Grow up, dude.It's so funny seeing the fanboys defend Apple like this trillion dollar CORPORATION is their family member. ⚰️
The fact is MOST people get base model Macbooks and the new "supercharged" base model should NOT have slower speeds in any aspect than the 2 year old model, especially considering they bumped up the price by $200.
Stop sucking up to a corporation. They care about their shareholders and not you.
Agree… they’ll suck the joy out of a new purchase. Carry on, people buy what they need/can.Funny. This forum will destroy any joy someone might have with a new purchase they might be able to afford if they scrounge.
It's like....Evil![]()
Most non-geeks aren't going to regularly right-click or Force Quit an app. They hit the red button. The similar red button in Windows actually quits the app in one step.

The street price for 8GB of DDR5 SODIMM is $65, bringing the Apple tax to 200%.
The street price for 256GB of SSD is $25, bringing the Apple tax to 700%.
Apple does love its sycophants, but not as people, only as sources of money.
Likewise, influencers and politicians love their sycophants, but only as sources of narcissistic supply.
For those who really love Apple, you should welcome criticism as a source of wisdom for how to improve, rather than a vicarious attack on your identity.

I agree 1,000,000%. No cap.It's so funny seeing the fanboys defend Apple like this trillion dollar CORPORATION is their family member. ⚰️

Listen, back in the day, we loved the Amiga but we hated Commodore. A person’s relationship with a company and a company’s products can nuanced. Life is a 256 color mode, not 1 bit. Read his reply in context.I’m confused why you frequent an Apple enthusiast website if this is how you feel. For example, I wouldn’t go to a Microsoft or Google enthusiast website just to spread hate. There’s nothing wrong with criticizing a product or company, but this goes beyond that.

Apple made business decisions, customers get to decide if the product is worth the money. It's that simple.
Calling someone a sycophant adds nothing to the argument; but merely shows you no longer have any valid points and are reduced to name calling.
well said, I have also read other articles recently that have made me see it from your perspective also. while I have fallen victim to some articles, why correct in their facts, like your comment, they lead me to realize it is a perspective issue. it boils down to what one is doing on the machine that at times shows that the machine is perhaps slower but in reality it is not always slower than the previous version.Except it isn’t slower overall in normal use per benchmarks. Focusing on one component ignores how well they work together. The focus on SSD speed is like saying a car is slower because it has less HP even as it is faster in say 0 - 60 or has a higher top speed. What counts is how well an item performs overall, not any one spec.
This.I think the fact it's soldered is much worse than its speed...
