Apple has no new products in a long time, just overpriced toys that are sold due to good marketing. Most of their money comes from market positioning and closed eco system.
Thry were innovative in the past (that first iphone reveal), but for last years they basically are an app store that takes a 30% cut.
- thinkharderdev 5y agoWell I am writing this on a new M1 MacBook Pro which is the best laptop computer I have ever owned. And that is because Apple developed their own chips that are an amazing leap forward in power efficiency, so I can have a laptop which I do heavy, CPU intensive work on all day without worrying about the battery.

- rvba 5y agoDo computer games work on this? (Emulation?) Does it have MS office with macros, or still only a limited version?
- thinkharderdev 5y agoNo idea, haven't tried either. In general anything you have to run under Rosetta seems pretty slow.
