Awesome - can get this setup for my Wife's Mac again. It'll be nice to get control of some of the features of the additional buttons again

Geekbench's Metal scores on the M4 and M4 Pro don't do justice to its actual 3D performance in several 3D rendering tests and games I've run. They are a pretty dramatic improvement. You should also include some actual Power usage info. In expensiv…

KITA said: The 80 W is not for all configurations. It just has the potential for that. The 23 W version is what's in most devices. From Anandtech (Oct. 2023) "Thin and Light" version has a 23W TDP: I'm curious how the X Plus…

For Battery runtime, You should also include the "Web browsing numbers" for another indicator of battery runtimes - for the M3 Air that is about 15 hours Wireless Web Browsing. For the Surface Laptop that is "Up to 13 hours of battery life" for the…

In my typical walking, I apparently average 9-10 days. On particular busy weeks at work (which is a big building), it could be as little as 5 days. Wasn't something I really thought about, but is interesting.

These are some nice additions - I know several people with low-vision that will like the larger icons and larger text for sure.

To me it looks like if you compare on TDP that the new AMD processor should be compared against the M2 Pro rather than the plain M2 (at least a couple sources I found put the M2 Pro at about the same 28 Watts maximum) - and then the performance is m…
