- merb 5y agowell the 16" macbook pro is not a powerformance power horse. I'm not really satisfied with it. it feels way worse than my old 2013 model. I think that it is really often thermal limited, especially when turbo boosting.
- ajconway 5y agoIndeed, it throttles way sooner than one would expect. Despite that, it was faster than the previous gen models.
- webmobdev 5y agoOk, but can you do similar things on Windows or Linux or xBSD on the M1? I can on my Intel Macs. If you sacrifice your computing freedom, you will be supporting the development of incompatible locked down black boxes, like the M1, and promoting the monoculture of the single OS that run on each of them. Imagine a future where only locked down devices are available from Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, Nvidia etc. etc. all incompatible with each other. And due to the locked down black box nature of their devices, you have to buy a developer license for each device to program on it? Both developers and consumers can be better exploited with such devices.

It's just a tool that makes my job easier. > And due to the locked down black box nature of their devices, you have to buy a developer license for each device to program on it Personally, I don't like it. What's your point?
