yep.

M2 seems like overkill when the M1 is pretty crazy already.

I have an Apple TV and no iPhone.

I think he was trying to reply to the thread below this one. Reddit reply sucks sometimes

Why are you pressed about it tho. That’s what I’m wondering

It's soldered in, so no.

Apple Silicon has been pretty great battery life even for the Pro computers.

M1 13" Pro and M1 Pro 16" Pro both had longer battery life than the M1 Air.

Arm processors are great, but a lot of software isn’t built with that architecture in mind, so I don’t think apple is the best all around. Though they are becoming more intriguing every generation.

They got rid of the MagSafe!? My 2015 MBP is still holding up like it's only a year old but I know the end will eventually come. Hopefully Apple puts the MagSafe back

Am I allowed in the boat with my 2013 MBP that has been destroyed by software updates, making it almost unusable.

Apple would send a patch through its update service to fix this glitch if any glitch cost them potential customers.

I have an Android and Apple TV. Remote alone is worth it for me, also being able to hardwire it's network access is preferable. I also have a Chromecast on the same TV if I ever want to stream anything from my phone.

You can certainly get a good PC for $1,300 but it won't perform as well. Apple runs Windows better than similarly-priced laptops.

It’s probably the most complicated transition and also the least profitable. How much does the Mac Pro contribute to Apple’s bottom line or to increasing overall sales? I would guess it’s a tiny percentage.

Lmao.

Damn, that's a steal.

Eventually but not any time soon. Maybe in a year or two... but at the same time M chip based MacOS is ARM... and I would not be shocked if someone figured out a way to make other manufactures ARM based architecture run MacOS not unlike how people figured out how to get OS X to continue working on x86 chips long after apple moved to x64 and removed any of the instruction set to allow it to work.

honestly though probably not much of a market to it other than for some hardware/software hackers to say they could and put it on their resume.

GOOBLE GOBBLE ONE OF US

Lol do you hate on all Unix OSes? Or just because Apple makes this one

Great OS, no

OK workflow, sure.

Until you run into issues.

That work on a Hackntosh? Maybe. Its like trying to install Kodi media center on AppleTV, heres this simple 20 step process.

For a home system the low ram usually won’t be noticed. For a work system you won’t know why your app keeps locking up or crashing or choking on the biggest files. When it’s new you won’t notice because you’ll chalk it up to bugs in apps not updated yet but a year in when it’s stable it will choke on you when you are constantly using most of its ram for the apps you use daily. It’s the ram and limited hard drives space. So you are looking at a minimum $500 up charge to have a work capable workhorse. Paying $500 more for a Mac over base price has been almost mandatory (if you let Apple do your upgrades) for decades. It’s their best grift outside of having very low cost production costs for the higher quality materials and production labor they use. Not upgrading ram and drive space on a Mac is really a waste of a computer because they are extremely capable systems when maxed out. Apple is counting on this to make the biggest profits from the cheapest to upgrade components.

I’m sure we’ve got a few years till they cut ongoing intel support right?

Correct. After this, no more updates to x86 MacOSX. Its all ARM from this point on, or until Apple gets bored switches to Texas Instruments OMAP format to sell more desktops.

This is literally the only reason they are still Intel on the pro... way too much pro level apps that require the Intel chip and are not compiled for ARM.
