  • New 15-inch MacBook Air sales are half the figure Apple expected

    boboliciousbobolicious
    I looked at it on the weekend and really liked the hardware design, however the above comments regarding costs of ram and storage seem on point. Perhaps the current pricing approach for Apple is finally catching up with them...?

    $159 gets one 2TB @ Newegg - currently offering a Samsung 990 Pro...
    $800 gets one 2TB above the base cost of 256GB for the Apple option, and it is not (easily) user serviceable...

    "PCIe Gen4 performance limits showing up to 7,450/6,900MB/s for Sequential Read/Write:

    32G of RAM might be helpful too, yet is even 24GB @ $400 at sufficient multiples of what is currently available elsewhere for PC under $100 to give pause?

  • LG UN73 UHD TV review: Beautiful screen with a laggy operating system

    boboliciousbobolicious
    It’s my experience that smart TVs all suck. They’re slow, and they spy on your viewing to send home to marketers. Disable the the network and plug an Apple TV onto it, enjoy the best of both worlds. 
    How much better is Apple...?

  • Apple TV+ production of 'Metropolis' has shut down permanently

    boboliciousbobolicious
    I consider Metropolis of epic merit, although might some say best left untouched...?
    I keep asking if our digital ability might ever venerate such classics as Dante's Divine Comedy or Homer's Odyssey...?
    Would we need a global non-profit crowd source option for that...?

  • Hands on with Apple's new Pro Macs -- Mac Pro & Mac Studio with M2 Ultra

    boboliciousbobolicious
    "Apple says that "developers can build new versions of apps at warp speed, with up to 25% faster performance than M1 Max," and "motion graphics designers using After Effects can render up to 50% faster than M1 Max."

    What is this comparing - an M2 Ultra to an M1 Max ?  Would an M2 Ultra to an M1 Ultra be more helpful at the pro end...?
