Faster than 98% of the cheapest OEM laptop available!
- jandrese 6y agoI just had the thought that the figures could be skewed by education departments all over the country making bulk orders for cheap laptops for students doing remote learning.
- qz2 6y agoVery good point.
- sundvor 6y agoAnd there are some truly incredulously crap ones, possibly costing even less than an additional power supply for the MacBook. That statistic from Apple is just as bad as those.
- coldtea 6y agoNope, "Faster than 98% of the laptops sold, which includes many of the cheapest OEM laptop available!". Not the same as "Faster than 98% of the cheapest OEM laptop available!".
- qz2 6y agoHey if they’re allowed to miss large bits of information for marketing purposes, so am I :)
- socialdemocrat 6y agoIt beats Apple’s own top of the line intel laptop at a fraction of the cost. According to the tests which have surfaced. That ought to count for something. Apple has not made pure fantasy claims in the past so why should they now? The trend has been clear. Their ARM chips have made really rapid performance gains.
- qz2 6y agoWe don’t even have a significant quantity of people with hardware in hand yet so I’d like to reserve judgement. At best we have some trite stats about single core performance but I’m interested to see whether or not this maps to reality on some much harder workloads that run a long time. Cinebench is an important one for me...
