dk49 said: Why does this need 370W power supply if its peak performance can be achieved at 100W? As Mpantone notes, the CPU isn't the only thing needing power. In addition to all the other internal bits, the Mac Studio must also be able to…

Woz was simply in the right place at the right time. In the spring of 1975, a senior in my engineering school opened his briefcase in the student lounge to reveal a portable computer. It was battery operated, had an 8080 CPU, a 4” (16 lines of 64 ch…

As ericesque notes, the "beautiful" wood is cabinet grade birch plywood, not something you'd present as a facade. The finish is both mottled and muted. I'd never let something like that out of my shop.

I have at least a dozen little USB chargers piled in my kitchen junk drawer, along with a half dozen pair of corded earphones. While Brazil fines Apple for not including usually unneeded chargers, might the EU eventually levy fines for including the…

Fixing the keyboard to the display is ergonomically terrible and makes no sense in a desktop computer. My keyboard is on an adjustable tray, 14 inches below the bottom edge of my iMac display and 11 inches in front of it, tilted backwards 10 degrees…

I just skimmed the entire patent. As someone who designed electrocardiographs, patient monitors, wearable cardiac recorders, etc, it looks like Apple's patent contains some nonsense. I've seen such wishful thinking from university engineering proje…
