I want a 15" version of this hardware so badly. It would be my perfect personal webdev machine, assuming no significant M2 thermal issues.
My workflows are all lightly threaded and CPU bound, so I don't benefit much from the Pro/Max/Ultra SKUs. So considering the base M1/M2 meets my performance needs, nothing else really comes close when it comes to portability/battery life.
All I really crave is a bit more screen real estate.
I do really hope the competition catches up and we start to see more open alternatives that approach the same perf-per-watt. As it stands, there just isn't anything else I've seen that offers a comparable experience to one of these Apple Silicon machines.
My personal endgame would be an ARM/RISC-V Linux machine from a company like Framework, but I feel like that's a ways off.
- deergomoo 4y agoThere's been rumours for a while now of a 15" Air in the next few years. It would make a lot of sense—not many people looking at the MacBook Air would be willing to pay double the price to jump to a 16" MBP just for a bigger screen.
- skohan 4y agoAlso there are probably a lot of people who want a bigger screen but not a thick and heavy laptop
- kirso 4y agoAlways wondered, where is the thin line between where you are ok with M2 Air and M1 Pro/Max... would you mind elaborating how you drew it?
- LecroJS 4y agoI would also like to hear people’s thoughts on this. Considering pulling the trigger on this tomorrow morning or just getting an M1 Pro/Max
