This depends heavily on whether you consider a computer with any NPU to be an “AI PC” or whether, like Microsoft, you have put a baseline down. If you use Microsoft’s requirement for 40 TOPs, you get Apple selling exactly zero capable AI PCs… there is so much conflation and chest thumping going on in ML at the moment that it’s hard to get an idea of who makes what and whether (and how much) it matters.

“Jelly scrolling is apparently still there, but it's just not something I notice, look for, or care about. Looking at the display with slow-motion cameras will show the effect, but that's not how I or anyone will ever view this display.”

That you can only see it when slow motion cameras reveal it to you is lucky for you. I see it without that and it’s why I don’t have one… I will be checking out the mini 7 in the coming days to see if I like what has been done to it or if I need to wait another generation.

I am writing this on my M4 iPP, which is my 95% computer. I would love to have a tablet that returns my use case to what it was with the OG and iPad 2, just a screen with a cover and the mini would allow for that… because the Pros are too unwieldy to do that for me.

SUPER content that they did not move the FaceTime camera location. Hopefully they fixed the “jelly scrolling” (if you don’t notice it, I’m happy for you! I do and it annoys me…) If I hadn’t upgraded to the M4 iPP this would be on my list for sure. I’ll be watching for reviews to see if I pick up a base unit to play with.

If the PSU is an external unit, as it is on the M series iMacs, I will not be thrilled. Further, if it’s a proprietary connector I’ll be even less thrilled.
