It's curious to me that they called out T2 accelerating encode on the Mini, but didn't for other Macs when it's been out for, almost a year? Some testing should be able to show if it's enabled on all machines with T2, though I do seem to recall the…

I was thinking something along that line. Like the stackable Mini, but more like slices that slot into each other, much like the, well, Slice.

If the non-touchbar Pro just got an update for T2 and Butterfly 3 and nothing else, I'd still be more inclined towards it than the Air. 500 nits, P3, Iris Plus GPU, higher TDP, and battery life is good enough for me. If it got a quad core, that woul…

100 dollars for 10 gig ethernet is actually a killer deal, no? It was a few years ago, but a Sonnet solution over Thunderbolt 2 off a Mac Pro was like 900 dollars to get 10 gig.

Kinda thinking the opposite, if the 13" function keys Pro gets an update soon it'll be the one making the Air look awkward. The Air has no P3 display, 500 nits display, Iris Plus, and is a class below on processors (albeit with a fan), the Pro is a …

The 12" particularly seems on death row. Who would pay 100 dollars more, to lose Thunderbolt 3 and a port and have less power? All to save 0.75 pounds. The 13" nTB Pro is a bit better positioned with more powerful processing, and I'm not sure if t…

Going to guess that impressive Photoshop demonstration was running on the 6GB one then, which most people won't get. Photoshop can chew through RAM.

" An Apple-designed 7-core GPU is said to be twice as powerful as the 12-core GPU in the A10X Fusion. " FWIW, Apple merged the number of ALUs in two old cores into one, so the 7 core is worth 14 old cores + architecture improvements. I always ha…

Looking at the figures off the Anandtech chart, the 20 should be worth around 3.3Tflops, vs 2.1 now, so about right in line with their 60% figure. The 16 however looks to have the same number of shaders as the 560X, so just whatever architectural …

PCMag says there is a fan. "One rep did say that there is some active air cooling of the CPU in the new Air, with the chassis taking up some of the cooling duty as a passive heat sink, but the fan ventilating subtly out the trailing edge of the hing…

Thought so, afaik there's no U series 8th gen parts with two cores, so they had to have stepped down. It keeps a fan though, so it should have much better sustained performance than the 12" Macbook...I wonder if the 12" is just going to die now, b…
