Good move, Apple. Buy some more time until the technology is ready. The big bulky VR headset just looks silly today.

Macs aren't the only Apple products to use the M2 chip.

I knew it. That explains why my Air Fryer cooks faster than my conventional oven. It M2 obviously.

I always track my wife. I have a notification to let me know when ever she leaves work. I also use an iPad with side car to always display find my with her location. She also tracks me down, but not nearly as often. I like to know what is going on with her and making sure she is safe. I like having eyes and ears everywhere. 

Same here. 10 years ago people think I was crazy. Now my whole family members tracking each other. A few times my family members' cars broke down and accidents were taken place, I was able to reach them at no time using Find My app. People get the perception of me stalking them. It's more of checking them out at the end of the day if my wife or son is OK because it's after 9pm and she was still at work or at school type of thing.

Oh, that's a shame, Chevy. Even Mercedes EQS all electric SUV has CarPlay built-in.

Damn, just bought a Thinkpad P14s for CAD work because things were a bit dire in Mac world. Ah well, needed it two months ago.

now for solidworks and Siemens NX.

There's no Solidworks made for Mac unless you are running virtual Windows on a Mac.

Same problem that I have for Autodesk's Product Design and Manufacturing Collection, albeit the bundled AutoCAD and Fusion 360 are likely able to be run independently in the cloud on a Mac per the license, the rest on a PC.

Then there is this;

Requires Parallels...

I was a SolidWorks user in the past, and I would assume that Parallels would work fine, but I would want to be confident that there wouldn't be issues. 

Windows 11 and Parallels Desktop 

Parallels® Desktop version 18 is an authorized solution for running Arm® versions of Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 Enterprise in a virtual environment on its platform on Apple M1 and M2 computers. 

The Arm version of Windows 11 has limitations that can impact your ability to use various types of hardware, games, and apps, including those that rely on DirectX 12 or OpenGL3.3 or greater. For more information, please see the FAQ in this article. 

Interesting. The site says it runs faster on M1 and M2 Macs virtually than Windows 11 native PC. Wow, someone really needs to test this out. This is great news for Mac users.  But realistically speaking, I got my son a PC just to use these programs at his college rather then jumping over the hoops with a Mac which I don't have time for. Maybe one day after a virus eats up his PC, then I will introduce him a Mac.
