They're comparing three generations back now?
Oh, I see that they never updated the Mini for M3. So it's only two generations of Mini. Still, I prefer to see one generation comparisons. And it's kind of weird that Apple doesn't keep their smaller product lines more up to date. They certainly have the resources to do so.
- gandalfgreybeer 2y ago> They're comparing three generations back now? My guess is the leap from intel to M1 was significant for an upgrade and M1 vs M2/M3 wasn’t really. I’m personally on an M1 and use it heavily but I don’t think I need the M4 jump still. The mini hardware is appealing to me though.
- hbn 2y agoThe other consideration is people don't upgrade their Macs every year. They're selling to people with several year old Macs. Though honestly my M1 Pro MBP from 2021 still performs so incredibly well I have no desire to upgrade anytime soon. Best computer I've ever purchased.
- fennecbutt 2y agoNot only that but they're still comparing m3 as being "17x more powerful than Intel" for the air, but neglecting to point out they haven't used Intel for several generations now. Lmaoooo.
