Yes, it looks _really_ nice. Specced with the crazy graphics, and 64G ram and 2TB storage, it costs 4000$. Ouch! Is the Max CPU still fanless?
(I really wish there was a matte screen option at the price point, my old macbook pro was a very expensive mirror and it puts a lot of strain on the eyes to try to concentrate on whats on screen, rather than behind it)
- agloeregrets 5y agoNone of it is fanless on these models. This is more of workstation Core i9 replacement.
- Toutouxc 5y agoOnly the Air is fanless, every other M1 * Mac has fans.
- ofou 5y agoI think is about the same if compared with a windows-based with the same specs (GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile) and so on.
- dagw 5y agoit costs 4000$. Ouch! A Windows laptop from HP or Lenovo with similar specs/performance won't be cheaper.
- SamuelAdams 5y agoCan confirm. Currently using a P52 with 64 go ram and an Xeon processor, and a 4K screen. Probably cost my company 5-7k after all the enterprise support fees and such. Would much rather have a Mac, the thing is just way smaller and lighter.
- throwaway675309 5y agoOh c'mon... I'm not going to argue that battery/build quality is better on the apple, but that is some serious FUD. Literally just picked up an asus zephyrs g15 15.6" with 2560 x 1440QHD 165 hz refresh rate, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS, 16GB Memory, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 and 1 Tb ssd for $1850 at Best Buy, then picked up 2x16gb DDR4 3200 MHz for $150 off Amazon to upgrade to 32gb. Weight is a little over 4 lbs. (4.1lbs) Total cost: $2000
- fcurts 5y agoYou are comparing a high-end MacBook to a mid-range Asus. Build quality costs money.
- sofixa 5y agoAs someone who owns an Asus and a work-provided Dell XPS, and has extensively used a 2016 MBP... Yeah, no. Build quality differences are minimal, and at least on the Asus and to an extent the Dell not everything is glued/soldered on so it's maintainable. And it wasn't Dell or Asus who shipped faulty keyboards they refused to replace.
- fcurts 5y agoI own both a MBP (2019) and an Asus Zephyrus G14 (2020). While the latter is good value for the money (I use it for gaming), chassis, screen, sound, touchpad, fingerprint sensor, and reliability are much inferior. If you want to compare the new MBP to PC laptops, at least compare apples to apples (ROG Strix, Legion 7, etc.). Otherwise you're just arguing that a high-end laptop isn't worth the money to you, which is fine but has nothing to do with Mac vs. PC.
- lwkl 5y agoThe device doesn't even have the same specs, the $4000 is for a MacBook with 2 TB SSD and 64 GB of RAM yours has a 1 TB SSD and 32 GB of RAM that's half. Other than that yes MacBooks are expensive. But so are HP EliteBooks or Lenovo ThinkPads.
- sudosysgen 5y agoYou can get comparable Thinkpads at ~2800$ if you use the secret store and/or wait for sales.
- kweks 5y agoCan you elaborate on the "secret store" ?
- bartvk 5y agoTip, search online for "custom screen protector". Some companies will cut a screen protector to custom size. Just measure length and width of the screen. For my 2019 16" MBP, I ordered a matte one and it's glorious ever since. For Dutch people: https://www.smartfolie.com/ https://www.smartfolie.com/
