Aaroncz said: If Apple's nand speeds are going to be all over the map, it might be best to buy from Apple, try and return if the speed sucks. How many times will Apple allow returns per item? The Tom's Hardware test is using 2TB MacBook M2 …

Calamander said:I have never seen speeds exceed 150MB/s in real life (hundred 50)... nowhere near the 5,000 MB/s this MacBook Pro 16 with M1 Pro is supposed to be capable of. So I am guessing that this raw speed is highly theoretical and proba…

Aaroncz said: Apparently the M2 Pro Mac Mini base model (16GB ram, 512GB SSD) only has a single 512GB Nand chip. However the 14" MacBook Pro has a 256 nand chip on either side of it's motherboard in the 512GB ssd model (maybe*). So the 14" …

Aaroncz said: "As it turns out, the 512GB M2 Mac mini also features a single NAND chip, meaning that it would still have slower read/write speeds than a model with two 256GB chips."Has this been confirmed? Someone commenting on Brandon's Bla…

I hope someone will post other disk benchmarking stats soon, such as 4K random read/writes from something like Amorphous Diskmark. These kinds of stats are in many cases more important for perceived performance than sustained sequential transfer of …

jdw said: While I appreciate this article very much, it surprisingly overlooks the obvious fact that the Air lacks an internal fan and therefore can and does limit performance during sustained operations. Please consider adding some details …

MplsP said: The limiting factor of the USB A cable wasn’t the cable, it was the 5w charger. If you’d put it on a 20W USB A charger it would have matched the USB C cable. Actually iPhones can’t charge with more than 12W via USB A. For anyt…

urahara said: And why use plug-in charger if you can simply use MagSafe? Huh? Because it’s almost twice as fast, the cords can be 3x longer, you can still use the phone easily while it’s charging, and less energy will be wasted.

Actually only the 14” models come with a 96W adapter. The 16” models come with a 140W adapter.

Thanks CgWerks, that’s very helpful. So the apps have to be specifically updated to use the T2 for HEVC encoding or it’s automatic? Did they mention adding that support in their release notes for recent updates? Thanks.

Andrew, could you comment in more detail about the impact of battery life while using wireless CarPlay? Especially while using GPS/Navigation? I know that the GPS uses a lot of battery life, but having the screen off the whole time would probably …

coolfactor said: Pioneer used to be one of my favourite brands, but your demo doesn't sell me on this product. I can see the lag (due to wireless), but the non-Apple interfaces it features also don't live up to my standards. I would not want …

entropys said: I think I will have to get one. My questions are:Will it be noticeably faster to insert a 256GB SSD than the 2TB fusion drive? At least in the previous Gen (2017), the fusion drives maxed out around 2000 MBps read and 750 M…

cgWerks said: I didn't care much about the T2 when I bought my 2018 mini, but now I do! The HEVC/h.265 encoding is several times faster than even the six-core i7, AND it keeps things quiet as an added bonus. May I ask what App you are usi…
