Also, apple is using the new file system that makes things like copying files more efficient (not sure how exactly), but sounds like the test is going to make the mac look awesome even though many people who pay extra for a 1 TB samsung EVO 960+ SSD are going to be matching apple's performance..
For example, my 2012 MBP uses a Samsung EVO 960 SSD and yes its super fast.. and I didn't have to pay $4000 for the computer..
- TheKnack 8y agoHere's an explanation of what APFS is doing to make file copying to the same volume almost instantaneous: http://dtrace.org/blogs/ahl/2016/06/19/apfs-part3/ http://dtrace.org/blogs/ahl/2016/06/19/apfs-part3/ The Mac App Store reviews on the disk speed test tool they are using are abysmal, so I wonder if it's truly testing the disk performance or being fooled by the tricks that APFS is doing.

- xt00 8y agoIn my case an i5 with only 256GB SSD and 13" is not so great.. and I would prefer to replace my 15" MBP from 2012 with a 1TB SSD and 16GB ram and an i7 with also a 15" MBP with similar class stuff.. I guess maybe if I got used to using an external monitor always then the 13" would be nice, and I would just use an external mouse and keyboard -- but then its not clear why I'm buying the mac since the display and trackpad are typically some of the selling points. Keyboard used to be, but not so much anymore..
