tht said: If only they can keep scaling up. Scaling GPU compute performance with more GPU cores has been the Achilles heel of Apple Silicon. … And you can see the scaling efficiency get worse and worse when comparing 4, 8, 14, 16, 24, 32, 48 and…

Mike Wuerthele said: It is close to the M1 Max, but not the M1 Ultra. More on this next week. Thanks Mike. I’ll be looking forward to that. My son is chomping at the bit to get a computer, and we had been considering a base Studio (maybe a ti…

Sounds nice, but hoping to hear about the Pro variant, and how it might compare to the base Studio. Are people getting those to test, yet? I’m guessing it might be kind of close (well, at least until the M2 Studio). DAalseth said: The Mini i…

MacPro said: Lot of similarities. I have both side by side. The main difference is one is cold the other gets red hot just ticking over. Now if the trash can had modern ports and a few M2 Ultras inside... I don’t think the ‘trash can’ Mac …

ravnorodom said: The next Mac Pro is better be something that Mac mini and Mac Studio can't: Stacks multiple layers of M2 Ultra chips on top of each other with blade fans/thermo sitting in between each chips. Max out these guys to the height …

InspiredCode said: …I think part of the GPU story is being missed, but we will see. Apple knows they have a hole to fill in preview rendering and they have been putting a lot of effort in to making metal ready on the software side. …. Yeah…

Japhey said: I actually don’t experience any clamping at all with them. But, to be honest, they are my first pair of premium headphones so I can’t really compare them to anything else. But I can say that they sound amazing and that I wear them f…

Japhey said: Assuming the 2nd gen model gets the same AirPods Pro 2 upgrades, there are really only a few things I would personally like fixed. First, USB-C. Second, they could be a bit lighter. And third, they absolutely need a better case. Man…

benji888 said: Yeah so I pre ordered an M2 Mac mini, but I have a non Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse… I might have a wired mouse somewhere, so I won’t be able to set this thing up?!?!?!? That’s really not cool for Apple, if they are not g…

beowulfschmidt said: Assuming you have a lightning to 3.5mm cable (sold separately, at additional cost), that is. I don't think "services" per se is a problem, it's currently the best way to ensure constant revenue, which is what shareholders w…

What I’m waiting to see is a comparison of the mini M2 Pro to the base Studio.

I guess that is a bit of a bummer, as I’m kind of in the market for such a product (though need to save up a bit more). I had hoped we’d see AirPods Pro 2 type improvements. I’m curious though, what owners of them think needs to be fixed/updated on …

beowulfschmidt said: I'm amazed that anyone still thinks that the exclusion of any kind of "audio in" has anything at all to do with the cost of the component, or in fact any engineering factor. With the premium prices Apple charges? No way. I…

dewme said: My only real concern quality-wise on the new HomePod is whether Apple attempted to correct the component failure issues that were present, if even in small numbers, in the first gen HomePod. I have to assume they did, or at least hop…

keithw said: This is what I'm getting with my 5 year old iMac Pro with an eGPU. If and until I can match this with a Mac Studio (or maybe a Pro,) I don't think I'll be upgrading. Of course, as others have pointed out, they could certainly po…

Madbum said: Audio in? Why? Best use of these is pair with Apple TV 4K wireless Well, for example, I have a PS4 (maybe one day a PS5). Or, what if I want to play a Blu Ray? (I suppose I could rip it and such) For me, it is too expensive as …
