  • M3 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro review 3 months later: Peak Mac with best-in-class performance

    Perfect timing!

    I finally got sick of my 2019 i9 MacBook Pro, 32GB RAM, slowing down to a nearly frozen crawl every day. 
    Restarts, clearing RAM, quitting Safari have been temporary fixes. 
    Been struggling with running out of space on my 2TB SSD, constantly offloading files.

    Ordered a 16” MBP M3 Max, 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU with 128GB RAM and 4TB SSD! 
    SILVER! A black MacBook Pro just seems kind of sacrilegious.
    Getting it NEXT WEEK!

    Looked GeekBench speed comparisons and the M3 max is something like a solid 4x the speed on everything.
    It ought to be able to whip Vectorworks into submission.

    — Just got an email… Out for delivery! 

    You'll love it. I had 2019 Intel laptop. I hated it. It was so hot and ran only few hours on battery. I decided to trade in for M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and OMG! The difference is day and night! It runs all day. It is cool to touch. It is much faster in everything than the old MacBook Pro despite lacking the Pro features. I would imagine that I'd be ectastic with M3 Max if I needed that much power. 

    Apple did the right thing to move to its own silicon chips.

  • New rumor claiming iOS 18 redesign is inspired by Apple Vision Pro is in the wrong order

    That won't happen - it doesn't make sense to do that UI on a device that is totally different from the UI on AVP. 

    There is a reason why MacOS looks the way it is and doesn't copy the iOS interfaces. Same with AVP UI. 

    They can easily redesign icons to be same across platforms but the way they are structured won't be.

  • Unsurprisingly, Apple Vision Pro lenses will scratch if you try to destroy them

    Here's the thing - scratches on them will have no effect on functionality as long as they're not on top of sensors.

  • Please don't use the Apple Vision Pro while driving [u]

    When he claimed he was arrested, I knew it was fake. 
     
    People don't get arrested for moving violations unless they're intoxicated or obviously a danger due to mental distress. I don't know of arrests made for texting or wearing a VR headset.

  • Future Apple Vision Pro may look out for strain in the user's body

    That is a great feature. Neck fatigue will eventually happen if left too long and having Apple Vision Pro alert me to the coming fatigue is great way to be more aware.
