So in short, CPU and GPU manufacturers will have to do vertical integration themselves to compete.

I have a Macbook and used to have a Hackintosh for my desktop. But this ARM move made me move away from that solution on the desktop. I tried using Windows with WSL2 first but there was just too many workarounds I had to do for my workflow.

If you don't need the best single core performance, the cheaper Ryzen 3000 chips are still available.

Tried WSL2 for a while but there was still a lot of things that needs polishing. Finally decided on dual booting Pop!_OS and couldn't have been any happier. It's as close to MacOS as I can get in a desktop system. Due to Proton, I

But Apple is very big now. They can now afford to not court the "Alpha Geeks" since they already have captured the mainstream market(at least in the US). You may say that's not true. But just look at their actions and not the

There is a reason why designers, photographers, video editors and influencers are the prioritised. Get them on your side and it's free marketing for you.

I think people still has this belief that power users is still an important target market for Apple. Basing on their hardware decisions and software support, I don't think this is true anymore.

I think it is realistic. It's easy to think people have money to spend on $999 laptop when you are living in a first world country. 90% of the world probably couldn't afford that.

This is patently false. Apple fanboys also go to great lengths to demean users of other platforms. Case in point: Your labeling of users of other platforms.

The only problem with the latest Ryzen CPUs is that they are out of stock everywhere.

Are you using the Magic Keyboard? Just asking if that is a big part of your good experience with the iPad.

As someone who owns both Mac and PC, I am excited on what Ryzen can offer on 5nm. If Apple has these gains, I am sure Ryzen will have great performance leaps too.

They only need to add 2 ports to the Pro to differentiate it from the Air.

I sold my 2018 Mac Mini with high specs 1 week before the keynote. The guy must be feeling bad right now.

I think the difference is that you will be using pagefiles while the 32GB one will not.

Might as well go back to Windows or Linux if I have to reinstall with every major update. What am I paying the Apple tax for?
