Yes, great monitors. Perhaps expensive, but if I look around at the other desks, the non-cinema have been replaced perhaps two times. Granted perhaps not all the bells and whistles, but even now, 10 years later, still gets the job done for most of us. Well constructed, premium materials both internally and externally.
Well experiences are different for everyone. As I have noted elsewhere, for at least 5 years I have never been in a meeting room with only 1 option to connect. In fact I was had to give a presentation last week, and still had the option of VGA....Not to mention every other option under the sun.
Mobile i9 was way too hot, along with i7.
I have to say power efficiency might be the biggest advantage of the Apple silicon, in a laptop. But from a performance perspective, from what I can infer from Anandtech and others, what you say seems to be the case (with analogous fast SSD, though real world it seems unlikely that most of us will notice this much esp in the 32- and 64-gig ram models).
It was nice tech, it was just super difficult to integrate with a workflow. You had to take your eyes off what you were really doing because the damned thing changed all the time. PLUS it took away tried-and-true function keys that don't change and perfectly integrate with any keyboard-based workflow.
I don't understand -- by definition, if there is a "boost mode" doesn't that mean there is throttling? Something runs at 100% or is prevented from doing so, no?
It's a tricky one.
Reading the Anandtech review today, it seems that the GPU does super well in productivity, but gaming lags behind significantly. It's like a 3080 desktop in video editing, but a 3060 in gaming — not that macOS is particularly good for gaming...
No. Throttling and Overclocking have to do with the advertised clocks/speeds the chips are designed to run at.
Because they haven't trademarked iJustine, perhaps?
No, not necessarily. But I understand your confusion.
to be fair, she's not pretending to do a review. she's just showing what they look like and some initial impressions.
Yep, I did try to articulate that in my post. These machines have what they need to to run at max efficiency, and I am EXTREMELY happy about that. I wish we'd gotten these 7 years ago. Now, I don't need them (my iPads do everything I need).
well, my 14" shipped today (out of Shanghai) so I guess I'll be trying out the new one next week and we'll see if it's worth the extra $ over the 13".
My initial impression is that it doesn't feel much larger than the 13" Pro, even though it is a bit heavier. It doesn't have the taper, but looks good in person. Had Apple released this design in 2016, even with the Intel processors, it would have been well received.
The single core score at Six Colors is an anomaly, as it should be identical to the M1. The M1 Pro/Max are only faster in multi-core and GPU performance.Glad performance comparisons are coming out. Gives me solace that my M1 MBA will be just fine and adequate for the foreseeable future.
I may WANT the new MBP M1 Pro, but there is not need whatsoever.
It more than performs for my needs PLUS it's still plenty quicker than the Intel based MBP it replaced. Maybe next year when they come out with the new MBA M2 2022
I'd agree with you until I saw a video of someone using iStats and the menu bar was so long that menu options were hidden behind the notch and couldn't be seen. Probably a bug that will be fixed soon but there are cases of issues out there.
