But why not call out the specific niche then? Pro does not equal high demands. And audio has very different demands then 3D work for example. In fact for audio work the M1 is perfect hardware wise.
- coldtea 6y agoThere are pros that don't even need a computer. We're talking here about pros in the context of "increased hardware demands". This has little to do with "Pro" in the product name or not, nor with them being more professional than other working people.
- rowanG077 6y agoThe M1 Macbook pro is better then the 16 inch intel Macbook pro. I'm not sure it gets more "pro" then this.
- samatman 6y agoFor Apple, the core of "pro" is audiovisual professionals. I mean, really, it just means "the expensive one", as in AirPods Pro, but sticking to Macs for a second: if your job is video editing, or publishing, the bigger and nicer screen is going to trump a faster processor and better battery life. The (much) better speakers are also a big plus. Smart users in that category are holding off new purchases, if they possibly can, until the M2 (presumably) 16" MBPs drop. Especially if the rumors hold and it comes with an onboard SD card reader.
- michelb 6y agoThe M1 is fine for a lot of workloads but the current M1 macs are not suitable for heavy work. Regarding niches; video work, audio work, ML, compiling stuff larger than simple projects, etc. The current M1 macs start to break down on a lot of medium sized workloads due a lack of RAM. So in my view, pro machine = >32gb ram, better gpu performance, better multicore performance.
