The curse of Apple Silicon. Everything's basically "fast enough" already.
- divan 2y agoI have iPad Pro from 2020 (pre M1). It's still way faster than I need (most heavy work I do on laptop) and still unbelievably good. The only thing I miss is the ability to read under the bright sun. New Tandem screen unlikely to change it, so I'm opting in for 13.3" e-paper tablet. As I often read academic papers, that should be a killer one, but new 13" iPads also look promising for that!
- cjk2 2y agoI have the same problem. I still print mine out and read them on paper. Low tech but it's the best experience.
- divan 2y agoI ordered Onyx Boox Tab X – seems to be the only real option out there. It has Android, so it's possible to use your favorite reader/app on it (I'm using ReadCube Papers). Can't wait to try it.
- cjk2 2y agoThat's a good point actually. I can't seem to even bend my M1 Pro MBP. It just eats everything I throw at it and shrugs. It's coming up to 3 years old now and looks like and works like the day it was made.
- ailurooo 2y agoyeah.. it's amazing how much time and money is thrown at these new cpu's with such tiny diminishing returns for the end consumer. I wish we could do like a 4 year cycle of progress where engineers had longer cycles to innovate and like make a comprehensive upgrade rather than wasting all of these materials for a 10% upgrade that no one will notice.
