Lot's of people don't upgrade on the cadence that users on this forum do. Someone was mentioning yesterday that they are trying to sell their Intel Mac {edit: on this forum] and asking advice on getting the best price. Someone else replied that they still had a 2017 model. I spoke to someone at my job (I'm IT) who told me they'd just ordered a new iMac to replace one that is 11 years old. There's no smoke and mirrors in letting such users know what they're in for.
- izacus 2y agoRight, it's obviously that, not a marketing trick to make numbers look much bigger while comparing to old CPUs and laptops :)
- alsetmusic 2y agoGiven that they also compare it to an M1 in the same aside, I'd say you're wrong. > Up to 23.8x faster basecalling for DNA sequencing in Oxford Nanopore MinKNOW when compared to the 16-inch MacBook Pro with Core i9, and up to 1.8x faster when compared to the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro.
- postexitus 2y agoI have a 2013 Macbook Air as a casual browsing machine that's still going strong (by some definition of it) after a battery replacement.
- michaelmueller 2y agoYup, I'm a developer who still primarily works on a 2018 Intel Mac. Apple's messaging felt very targeted towards me. Looking forward to getting the M4 Max as soon as possible!
