    I'd be surprised at the M1 processor. With that it would essentially be identical to the iPad Pro.
    Not identical -- no ProMotion.  Apart from an M1 chip, I'd want ProMotion more than any other feature.

  • Apple releasing more efficient GaN-based 30W power adapter, says Ming-Chi Kuo

    I really wish Apple would make GaN multi port USB-C chargers. I’m currently debating between the Anker and the Belkin 40w dual-C bricks, but I would much rather buy first party. For some reason, I thought GaN tech would have evolved a lot quicker than it has. 
    Evolved in what way?  GaN chargers proliferate on Amazon.  Depending on the day, there are great deals to be had for almost any capacity charger.  I just picked up a RAVPOWER 2-port USB C 90W GaN w/6ft cable for $30.  It's advertised as "Generic", but received it and it's Ravpower.  Very happy.  All my chargers are now GaN chargers.

    Hopefully standards will evolve and we get higher wattage for the bigger Windows laptops.

  • Transcend's JetDrive Lite 330 adds storage to the new MacBook Pro

    What is the maximum speed on the SDXC slot on the new MacBooks?  This one is only 95/75.  Wondering if much faster cards could be used in that slot?

    Update: The SD card slot on the new MacBook Pros supports up to 250MB/s of data transfer with UHS-II SD cards and up to 90MB/s with UHS-I SD cards, according to information shared by Apple after this story was published.

  • Microsoft OneDrive update coming soon will bring native Apple Silicon support

    The fact that Microsoft (and Dropbox) have had over a year to get their cloud-synching software finished, not to mention most likely had early news as to what was coming with MacOS and Apple silicon, with nothing yet is inexcusable and pathetic.  Considering how much money these two companies make in revenue, that they allocate so little to their engineering for such a crucial piece of software.  
    "inexcusable and pathetic"?  Did OneDrive or Dropbox stop working for you on M1?  Were you put out in any way by not having the AS version of these services?  Why so angry?

    Many OneDrive users are reporting that one moment they are on Intel version (working just fine) and the next minute they are on AS with no down time.  Automagic upgrade from one working version to another.

    Is OneDrive available ONLY as part of Office365 or can you get it by itself?
    At least on Windows PCs it's pre-installed. I assume it still has a basic free tier for macOS users like it had years ago when it debuted.

    Of course, you could simply answer this question yourself with something called a "search of the Internet." I'm not going explain what that is nor do that for you. Neither should anyone else here.

    I am happy to help people on the Internet with random tasks but one thing I balk on is to encourage them to be mindless, lazy slugs.

    I hereby bow out of further discussion in this particular thread.

    Best of luck.
    Did that and all I found was stuff talking about how well it worked with Office365. 
    Did you try the obvious?  Type "onedrive.com" in your browser?  The information you crave is one click in.

    Interestingly, I typed your exact question you asked here into Google (copy/paste) and the top answer was:

    "Start your secure access, sharing, and file storage with OneDrive today. You can get OneDrive by itself or with a Microsoft 365 subscription."
