That’s a very disingenuous take on “in stock”. Sure, if you’re willing to pay multiples of MSRP, major retailers will now take your money too and not just let scalpers only get in on the profits.

As I suspected. I know you say you’ve worked remotely from Sardinia, but have you thought that maybe your career is also a major factor along with environmental differences (which is definitely an issue with London due to air quality /

If it’s so great (which it sounds like it from your description), then why don’t you just stay there?

And what you just did is called “stating the obvious”. How was either this reply or yours actually helpful to the conversation?

Given the M1 Ultra has a 2lb heavier heat sink just to dissipate the extra heat, not sure that’s a safe bet. There are other ways to reduce noise than just using lower RPM fans.

I checked the first two and it’s 7,000 read / 5,000 write. Pretty sure Apple said read AND write, which would be a lot faster than those. I might go back and rewatch the keynote, but I still thinking we are arguing pointlessly as Apple

Guess we will see once one is available to be tested, but I doubt that’s the case. I was guessing 5-8W each, but I could be wrong of course.

All of those listed are WAY above MSRP! MSRP is $1,499 in the U.S. and £1,399 in the U.K.

I remember a slide mentioning I think “up to 7.4gb/sec SSD read/write speed” or similar, which drastically reduces the pool of comparison SSDs. Intel Optane meets those specs, as do a few other brands I hadn’t heard of previously.

SSD and those two large fans also use a fair amount of power too.

Theoretically there could be a zoom that is an F/1.2, the issue would be the size and expense to manufacture ruins any possible commercial viability.

Not sure what you mean, Thunderbolt is unrelated to MST. MST mirroring works with all the MST capable DP monitors I’ve tried (half dozen or so), but have never got MST extend to work.

MacOS supports MST mirror (which imho is mostly useless outside niche uses), but not MST extend.

I’ve had zero issues using two 27” LG 5K monitors with my M1 Max (personal) or M1 Pro (work). Expensive setup for sure, but it just works and the amount of pixels is just glorious.
