I'm waiting for the 22" macbook airImagine a 17" macbook air! We can dream can't we?
I would no bet on it for all we know it could be Nomber 🤷♂️I was just about to buy a 14" MBP for a trip I have the last week of October. Any reasonable chance these new ones are available to have in hand by then?

I think when they finally make a 45" macbook air, that will be the sweet spot in screen size and portability

That's just being silly! Instead, a pocketable Air with roll-out KB (aka roller blind style) and a projector.I think when they finally make a 45" macbook air, that will be the sweet spot in screen size and portability
I'm afraid that's been done already:I'm kinda hoping that the new Apple VR rig will allow us to use/simulate our mac screens to, in effect, give us full vision desktops that encompass our entire views.
This is not new. Apple has been doing this for eons, on Intel, and on PowerPC before that, and even before that too.This seems odd to me, though I suppose it may be a new strategy to avoid producing "old" hardware—i.e., they can just solder in a different processor when making the same machine, giving customers a bit of a boost and allowing them to stop fabricating M1 chips. Maybe?
While they might remain 5nm, the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips are expected to be manufactured based on TSMC's newer 5nm process known as "N5P," so the new MacBook Pro models would still have performance and power efficiency improvements. However, a bigger bump in performance would come from the switch to 3nm chips in 2023 or later.
Nah, waiting for 1nm is the real one to wait for
100% this! Dynamic Island makes sense on a smaller screen and on iOS where notifications pop up in the center and are accessed from the top of the screen, as opposed to macOS where they’re off to the left. Apple isn’t going to completely upend how the macOS menu bar has worked for the past 40 years to add Dynamic Island to macOS.We don't? If Apple wanted dynamic-island-style notifications on MacOS they could place that in the menubar on all Macs, the notch doesn't matter. Except the menu bar is tiny, so putting notifications up there where it's eye straining and sharing space with, well, the menu bar menus, is not a good idea. Not like it's a touch screen where you can pull down on it.
There is nothing in this spot of the menu bar to begin with, and if the display actually continued above the camera the space would be too tiny to be usable anyways. And don't say the menubar could be increased in size, it already takes up valuable vertical space as is (since content can never be placed where the menubar is, MacOS doesn't allow it even if the menubar is hidden).
Apple should focus on fixing things that are broken in MacOS, notifications work well, if anything I'd just like more customization for it.
Old news, TSMC announces beginning trials of 'Dark Matter Wafers'!Why stop there? I'm getting the -1nm.
When they say well into testing, what kinda well into testing are they doing at Apple? Launch Microsoft Word, reload macrumors.com in Safari? What exactly? Bench marking Final Cut Pro?
Yeah, I suppose they have, but they tended to wait a couple of years, as I recall. Though maybe that was more down to Intel's (or IBM's) release schedule than any specific choice Apple was making...This is not new.

Why you would want to wait for the 3nm? Rumor has it that the M3 chip will be revolutionary as was the M1.
The M3 is rumored to be a leap over the fastest machines out now as Mark Gurman has hinted at this and Rene Ritchie on several of his blogs, and podcasts.
Whether you choose to believe any of these guys or not, it makes the most sense to me to wait to upgrade my old Macbook Pro because I don't need to yet, and while the other machine will be satisfactory, who doesn't want the latest and greatest if they can?
