That is a big thing. Kinda like this mac book pro is fine as long as you don’t get a bad keyboard.
- pdpi 8y agoThe 15" one I had at my previous job had graphics corruption issues (just big red — presumably untextured — rectangles all over the place), and I have to restart my current 13" one at my current job every couple of days because one of the thunderbolt ports will give up on outputting video on a regular basis (and won't recover until I restart). I also lose audio on this one every few days. I'll accept a dud as unlucky. Two in a row feels sloppy. The keyboard is only one of many problems these laptops have.

- peatmoss 8y agoWhile the long-term plan for Apple appears to be to move everything to their own silicon, I wonder if we'll see a hardware refresh based on a 7nm AMD Ryzen chip between now and then. The integrated graphics on AMD seem to be relatively performant compared to Intel's, and I can't imagine AMD not having pretty good power characteristics at 7nm.
- chrisfinazzo 8y agoMaybe this is 2005 Me talking, but I simply don't trust AMD to do anything well. To be fair, both Intel and them have had high profile failures where the product either didn't work at all or didn't perform adequately (Itanium and Bulldozer). The AMD I remember also had a tendency to over estimate performance and underclock parts, (1800+, anyone?) even if they could sell them for less. It's this part that makes me think Apple wouldn't want to deal with them. For all of Intel's missteps, Apple choosing AMD because they are the cheaper alternative smells weird to me.
