I don't doubt Apple's CPUs are great, but they coincide with the Mac's transition into a product I, otherwise, no longer wish to use.
I want access to my boot volume. I don't want cloud anything.
So Apple's technical prowess now makes me sad. I can either use an OS that doesn't head further every year in a direction I hate, or I can have a fast computer.
- higerordermap 6y agoAre M1 macs faster by significant factor for dev purposes though? I remember reading compiles are slow on MacOs, but don't remember what was the reason.
- PartiallyTyped 6y agoMany reviews show the M1 chips offering double the compilation speed of intel based macs.
- saagarjha 6y agoThey’re faster than other Macs.
- ravi-delia 6y agoI'm also pretty bummed that I can't use the magic ARM machine yet, but this is just the beginning. Apple currently has an advantage, but I suspect its more of a market advantage than a technical advantage. Snapdragons are getting really fast too, and a lot of the difference in power comes down to a lack of demand. Now that ARM has been shown to be this good, more and similarly powered chips will be made.
- x87678r 6y agoAgreed, I looked at the M1 and went out and bought an XPS15. MacOS scares me, wont be long before everything has to be bought from the app store.
