this might've been an answered question back when the new 13s were announced, but what's with the apparently different cpu in the base model 13? feels like most outlets have been saying it's the same 8th gen but it's not.

I have two computers, but it’s because I have a desktop with a GPU that isn’t rear end and a laptop that’s able to do most anything else I want it to do, wherever I want it to.

it's an incredibly bad value and seems like a bad buy unless you absolutely need a powerful discrete gpu on the go in a mac. amd's about to replace this generation of gpus in a few months anyway.

Apple buying Epic at the time that Tencent did would’ve made close to zero sense, other than “we bought the whole thing so we could get the little part of the studio that made Infinity Blade”

getting my mom to open up her settings, go to the hotspot section, go to her computer, switch wifi networks, and type that password from her phone into the computer would be a non-trivial undertaking so if she could pay extra to get a SIM card in her computer i 100% would have her do that.

If I need to use two USB-C ports that's fine, I just want to be able to run power, monitors, and the out to my shared USB-A hub all from one side of my laptop. i have a samsung crg9 that's 5120x1440@120hz, i'm using a thunderbolt > displayport adapter and it works fine.

I get why someone makes that video because that’s absolutely going to get clicks, but it would be loving embarrassing if the Intel CPU that can use up to 250W under intense loads got the pants beat off it by an M1 that uses like 4.5x less power. I mean, it’s still kind of an embarrassing performance for Intel but that’s not really Apple-specific these days.

the mac will never get a consistent pipeline of AAA games, and i think “well what if we just proactively crowdfunded it” grossly underestimates the cost of the whole venture. it’s not JUST porting that costs money. there are very few big budget games anymore that don’t have some sort of ongoing content development via DLC/expansions/season passes, a fair number are starting to embrace the idea of crossplay when it comes to multiplayer (or, say, strike deals with epic which is fraught on apple platforms at the moment), and you’d need teams for support, troubleshooting, fixing bugs, all to potentially coordinate with a main studio to roll out combined patches and keep versions in line with each other. this isn’t even starting to venture into custom tools and workflows, plugins and middleware that may need to be retooled to work with a new platform, etc.

pyrotek posted:Agreed. Every single M1 is a capable gaming machine, and every successor will be better. There are, or will be soon, tens of millions of these out in the wild, in the hands of people with money. It might take a few years, but soon there will be too much potential profit out there for hugely expensive AAA games to NOT support Apple Silicon.

Tenacious J posted:I think all your points are valid, but the thing is there’s likely a huge number of potential AAA game players who aren’t “serious” about it. Even the questions about using the M1 for gaming, as well as iGPUs in general, have been asked more and more often, which must reflect some demand. Isn’t the Steam Deck an iGPU? not saying there’s NO demand, obviously there is, but people underestimate how a) expensive games are and b) how risk averse major publishers have become. the idea that there are enough people with M1 pro/max model MBPs who are willing to spend $60+ regularly enough and in high enough numbers to make the financials make sense is one that companies aren’t rushing to test. BobHoward posted:Same can be said for the M1 Pro and Max GPUs. Even the plain M1 GPU is quite good. the M1’s gpu is good for things like efficiency and cost compared to competition, in terms of raw power it’s equivalent to a 5 year old GPU that was low midrange when it was released.

Taima posted:So I've been messing with Stage Manager and I don't know if I'm sold. I can see it... maybe... being cool with an external monitor, but I have the latest 12.9 inch iPad Pro, and the loss of workspace is hard to deal with. something that took me time to realize is that it seems like any stage manager window can be made full screen when you want/need it by hitting the 3 dots and hitting one of them buttons. also i turned on the high dpi mode on the 11" and it's... i dunno. usable, i guess, with the dock exposed? it's not great though. much more usable on an external monitor.
