This was hardly a surprise. And I always thought that the introduction of Apple Silicon Macs and Thunderbolt 4 to coincide at the end of 2020 was not a coincidence. Apple has been the leading manufacturer and supporter of Thunderbolt so it made no …

My thoughts... Yes, this was the worst kept secret in the industry, just like the PowerPC -> Intel transition. But there are some interesting long term ramifications. First, the fact that more Intel Macs are coming is testament that Apple thin…

What's weird is that Apple is offering this alongside the BarclaysCard product which they've had for years. And that card still is offering 18 months same-as-cash for purchases over $999. So for a typical Mac purchase, it may make more sense to do t…

Fully configured with 28 core, 1.5TB of memory, maximum graphics and 4TB of flash checks in at $52K+. Ouch. And that's before the monitor. With the monitor with non-etched glass and $1000 stand, the final price is just under $60K. And that's ass…

One interesting thing about all this is that if you want to pay over time with Apple, the only way to do it is still the Barclays Card, which was Apple's default credit cad product before the Apple Card. Apple's website is still promoting the BarCl…

Actually PCI 4.0 has been available in chipsets for a while. But it has largely been ignored in the gamer/prosumer/pro desktop market since PCI 5.0 was supposed to be right around the corner (it's also been ignored by the biggest use driver, graphi…

I'd forgotten that GameStop was Simply Mac's parent company. Simply Mac grew from regional footprint from organic growth and acquisition (they acquired MacAuthority based in Nashville years ago). The chain Apple retailers have largely stuck to a s…
