AppleInsider said: Just a week ago, the top leakers were expecting M3 Macs in 2024, but have changed their tune and are now expecting an updated iMac and MacBook Pro with M3 during the "Scary Fast" Apple Event -- but some things don't add up.…

mr. h said: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/sales-tax-by-state And a reminder, the US price ($1299) quoted by Apple is before sales tax. Apparently there's "local tax" to consider as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_ta…

mr. h said: pb said: JackieBoy said: I’m impressed that they priced it at only $1,299, that’s far less than expected. Only thing now is, why did they keep the 13” MacBook Pro around? It seems silly to buy it when you could just …

AppleInsider said: A dubious report claims that Apple allegedly paused production of M2 chips at the beginning of 2023, caused by an apparent slump in Mac sales. I cannot understand why there is still no M2 iMac, 10 months after Apple un…

keithw said: I think Gurman is dead wrong. It makes no sense. Why would Apple spend the money to create the Studio only to kill it in a single product iteration? ... Time will certainly tell. In the mean time, I'll keep using my "ancient" i…

LeftyLisa said: I own the Air Pod Max and walk my dog 3.5 miles everyday! I also have the Sony’s WH-1000 …3’s I think. The APM are lighter and more comfortable on top of sounding better. Do they sound as good as my Sennheiser 800HD S or…

And we have finally independent confirmation about the SSD speed in the base configuration. The M2 MBA story is repeated all over again at pro level. Ridiculous for premium machines. So, anyone working regularly with large files, or running memory-h…

AppleInsider said: MacBook Air... Maxing out the M2 MacBook Air won't give the user much additional performance. Going up to the 10-core GPU will mean better graphics performance ... The price for this maxed-out budget model reaches $2,499 …

gatorguy said: Are articles at odds today, or only reporting different parts of the tests? From a write-up on another Apple-centric site: "A quick look inside the base-level M2 Pro MacBook Pro revealed something I hadn’t expected to see – or…

Appleish said: So just a speed bump with no physical changes or new features? It comes with a price hike too, in Europe at least. The base configuration of the 14-inch M2 Pro model is 200 euros more expensive than the corresponding M1 Pro…

For many people buying such laptops, one of the main uses is to browse the web. Could you post the results of Speedometer 2.0?

DAalseth said: My favourite was the lamp. I had a 17” one and loved it. Right now I have a 21.5” Intel iMac. It’s fine for a mid teens computer. But I’d like to update it to an M2. Right, the "lamp" had the most original design ever: …

AppleInsider said: Here's how they compare. Thank you for this review. I did not expect that the Z17 would be so powerful. The OpenCL scores are unreal. The only advantage left for the Macbook Pro is the massive amount of video memory that …

sdw2001 said: Apple stopped trying to really compete in the market, if they ever did Not sure if I understand what you do mean. It is only a few months since Apple issued its last comparison with PCs. The previous one is less than a year…

Marvin said: Linux on desktop hasn't progressed much, that's due to vendors not sticking with a single Linux distro, which results in lack of software support. I tried several flavors of Linux during the past 20 years or so, and today I…

vadimyuryev said: Thoughts on SSD speeds? Here are the thoughts of someone who tried software and file transfers. This model is of no interest to me anyway. I am waiting for the reviews on Macbook Air with M2, to see especially if throttli…

AppleInsider said: Since Apple's appeal to reexamine the Russian agency's grounds for investigation was dismissed, the antitrust case will move forward. If found guilty of monopoly practices, Apple could face a fine based on its revenue in R…
