Early Geekbench scores show M4 Pro may outpace Mac Pro with M2 Ultra
That is actually an incredible scale of performance. You can have a Mac mini configured just like that and it's only $2199 which is definitely cheaper than M2 Ultra starting at $3999 - it's much a mini version of Mac Studio.

MacBook Air doubles base memory to 16GB for same $999
I am actually surprised, they literally doubled the RAM which is unlike other Macs that wouldn't double... usually increment by a third. I'd expect like a bump from 8GB to 12GB like when you want to get more RAM on Pros, you'd get like 16GB to 24GB or 32GB to 48GB before you can double for a huge "Apple tax."mpantone said:
It was pre-Apple Intelligence.Dead_Pool said:But I thought Macs were so efficient that they needed only 8 GBs?
Many closely watching Apple’s AI efforts expect their LLM to take up around 6GB of RAM leaving little for applications. Increasing RAM to 16GB provides far more headroom which will be crucial if the user enables Apple Intelligence.
This has been heavily covered by tech media despite the fact AppleInsider failed to mention it in this particular article.

Apple stuck the Mac mini power button on the bottom
Pretty sure that Macs with USB/Bluetooth connections never supported that feature. Only ADB connections, prior to USB, did.bloggerblog said:Can't it be powered on from the keyboard?

iMac base models are now 16GB RAM obviously due to AI requiring more RAM and it's about time.
Can't wait to hear about Mac mini and notebooks.
