apparently electron apps will have their performance significantly (source formatting) degraded under rosetta 2, and electron apps may interact badly with fat apps and fully double in size instead of just duplicating the actual binaries (that's a guess) lol

on the other hand you should be able to use the ios version of those apps

the real 12 mini has brushed aluminum finish. that photo must be some kind of leaked prototype or model but it appears to be the same size and shape as the real mini

yeah it is a nonfunctional model ostensibly intended for case development

I’m planning on keeping my og se for as long as is practical, but the 12 mini looks like a promising replacement when the time comes

Verge reviewer said he had to run the cine bench benchmark for ten minutes before the fan would even turn on. No way I can stick to a lovely x86 with that out there

tbqh i think a lot of the more fervent fans are a bit deflated with the m1 news, since it appears less magically beastly and more like a zen3-tier processor built with a better and more expensive process. but that was probably always the best possible outcome, there likely is no real leap forward to be made in design that'd let anyone get miles ahead of everyone else.

still means that apple will have a large performance advantage (at that tier) for some time, as pc laptops don't even get zen3, everyone satisfied to cram whatever intel poops out into every single design.

plus the seemingly excellent gpu which is getting very little noise comparatively.

I think that’s a pretty good take on things though the fan / noise sitch is still an ace imo. Apple has always been tops on power draw esp on desktops. I’m less sure about the laptops.

either way yeah should be a while before everyone catches up

I'm more curious about the 15"+ class and running some models locally (without using apples framework).

But I guess it will still hold up very well, seeing as my wife's i9 seems to run throttled just a few minutes after boot.

the anand tech M1 benchmarks really show how hosed intel is, everyone else is just miles ahead of them.

it’s “””magic keyboard””” which is probably not quite as good as my 2013 mba kb but simply has to be better than my 2018 mba kb

lot of review complaints about how nothing much changed but the silicon but frankly i want to take as little gamble on “first gen” hardware as possible so this old/new composite works for me
