  • The things you may have missed from Monday's M4 iMac announcement

    keithwkeithw
    I don't care WHERE the charging port is on the "Magic Mouse," because I don't use it.  I still have a brand new one in the box that came with my 2017 iMac Pro.  I find the Apple mouse useless.  I currently use a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse.  I also use a mechanical keyboard and not the "chicklet" keyboard we used to complain about in the early days of desktop/personal computing.

    The Studio looks sad on this graph, being M2 series.

    Yeah, anybody buying a Studio now needs to have their head examined.  I just don't understand why Apple does what they do...  Yes, I know an M4 Studio is coming, but I thought an M3 Studio was also coming, and never did...

  • Apple is readied for an entire week of M4 Mac announcements

    Really only interested in the Mac Studio. No other machines support enough RAM.

    At the very least they should release an M4 Studio Max immediately, especially since there was never an M3 Studio Max.  Waiting for the "Ultra" chip to be available seems unnecessary.  I neither need nor want an M4-based MacBook Pro.  I'm trying to replace my aging 2017 iMac Pro, which has served me well for the last 7 years.  But my M4 iPad Pro can outperform it!  The "current" MBP is $6000 with maximum core count, 128GB of RAM, and 4TB of disk.  I'm guessing the new one will be similarly priced.

  • Late 2025 for M4 Mac Studio & Mac Pro seems more certain now

    Another bone-headed move by Apple if true! Who in their right mind would buy an M2 Studio at this point?   There will be no M3 Studio.  I don’t want or need a high-end laptop, M3, M4, whatever.  I want the I/O capability afforded by the Studio line.  Let’s get the M4 Studio line out sooner than later!

    The typical 'too bad. my credit card is waiting. Apple is taking too long' crowd has entered the chat.

    Meanwhile their current computer does everything they need everyday.




    No, I'm using a 2017 iMac Pro, and it's getting VERY long in the tooth. Yes, I DO need the power of a Mac Studio. I'm doing things now I never even dreamed of doing on the iMac Pro.  Yes, Apple IS taking too long. Buying an M2-based Mac Studio would be foolish at his point.  The M4 in the iPad Pro is 2.8x faster in single core and 1.74X faster in multicore than my old iMac Pro.  So please don't make generalizations!
