Imagine having to buy extra fans to use your device at full power.
- windowsrookie 5y agoMy 2018 MacBook Pro will throttle if you try to use both the GPU and CPU under full load. My 2017 Dell XPS 15 would throttle if you looked at it. And the coil whine could be heard across the room. My 2021 M1 MacBook Air is completely silent and barely gets warm under full load. It only has 8GB of RAM and outperforms the XPS and MacBook Pro. It also cost less than half those machines.
- j45 5y agoThe m1 is very early still for compatibility, also doesn’t have 32 to 64 GB Ram. That might work for you but not everyone is the same. Looking forward to seeing the new 16” MBP with Apple silicon, but I suspect ubiquitous software compatibility will be 3 or 4 years away similar to when Apple switched from PowerPC to intel
- windowsrookie 5y agoYes, everything I use is already M1 compatible. And unless you need to run multiple VMs the 8GB of RAM doesn't seem to be an issue for anyone. What do you use that isn't compatible?
- j45 5y agoMultiple VMs concurrently. Docker packages don’t all fully work on macOS itself. It seems early.
- j45 5y agoThe price tag reminds me 3very time I set it down on the desk that it’s more like having a portable desktop you move around with you. Avoid the i9s
