  • Apple brings the Mac mini to life in a new short video

    Who is the voice actor the voice sounded familiar 
    Yeah, I thought it might have been Jeff Goldblum at first, which would have been a nice nod to the 90s Apple adverts he did. Not so sure though…

  • Apple's new iPad Pro gets M4 power, advanced Tandem OLED screens

    Some info to be aware of:
    • 10 core processor only available on TB versions, 256 & 512MB versions get 9 cores (3e & 6p).
    • 1TB option is $600 (60%) more than base option, $400 more than 512GB version.
    • Textured nano glass requires TB option.
    • Wide angle camera is dropped.. only one camera on rear.
    • GPS still requires cellular version, which is $200 upgrade.
    I am extremely disappointed Apple continues to bundle options.  Why should I have to buy storage I do not need to get the processor I want??

    To get better processor and GPS, with AppleCare and tax is now $2,070.. and that doesn’t include any accessories.. and that’s the 11” version.

    After I ordered mine, I also noticed that the 1TB and 2TB models have 16GBof RAM, whereas the other models have 8GB. I was surprised that they didn’t make this more clear in the marketing, because some people certainly would have upgraded the storage just to get the extra RAM. 
    Yes, they are always quiet on RAM in iOS devices for some reason. They probably want to avoid comparisons with competitors; as Apple can do more via unified memory and software optimisation they are stingy with it, on paper Android tablets look better but in reality that isn't necessarily the case.

    M4, that’s an interesting move. Especially considering the M3 isn’t even fully out yet with the Ultra chips (and hopefully the Extreme variant which the Mac Pro desperately needs to justify its existence).

    Wonder why they’ve jumped so far forwards, it will simply put people off buying M3 Apple Macs, no one wants to buy last years tech at this years pricing.
    Yeah, I just bought a fully loaded M3 MacBook Air 8 weeks ago. It makes no difference to the performance or longevity of this machine, but I still feel just a smidgen of irrational resentment 🤣

  • New M3 MacBook Air arrives with faster Wi-Fi and better performance

    A friendly update to a great product. Support for 2 displays is a nice surprise making it a good candidate for business customers. Prices have been reduced in Euro. Interesting that M2 15" has been discontinued keeping that price high. Wouldn't buy with less than 16 GB and memory is still too expensive.
    Cheaper in GBP too which is nice.

    I'm seeing in the app on the headline list that the "MacBook" was updated. It should be changed to "MacBook Air" since these are two different products.

    When I saw that I thought it might be a lightweight MacBook too for a second but alas it wasn’t to be. My comment above is how I think Apple view this now.
