  • Apple's M1 Max bests AMD Radeon Pro W6900X in Affinity GPU benchmark

    Omg. It’s 2021 and Apple still thinks integrated graphics is good enough for pro machines.  Unbelievable. It’s insane. Apple is doomed.

  • Apple unveils 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, M1 Max starting at $2499

    The notch has been there all along, you just couldn’t see it until they added screen to the blacked out bezel around it. 😉
    That’s exactly what I was going to say. They didn’t lower the notch into their standard screen ratio, they raised the screen around it, giving a greater height to length, giving us more screen.
    Indeed.  Though that’s what they did to the iPhone — and then some — and the complainers say it’s a step backward or whatever.  Some people won’t be happy with this **extra** screen space they get now. 

    I recall that time Steve was fielding questions at a meeting and someone in the crowd said he (Steve) didn’t know what he was talking about, etc.

    Steve’s response, in an almost exasperated voice, after a pause to consider it:  “You can please some of the people, some of the time…”

    It's going to be really awkward to talk about the M1 Max as opposed to the M1 Macs.
    Lol good point. And I suppose also the M1 Max Macs?

    The tech details also specify that the new MacBook Pro models still feature native DisplayPort output over USB-C and support for an additional display over HDMI. However, those who wish to utilize VGA, DVI, or Thunderbolt 2 displays will need to purchase adapters.

    Indeed.  I can't believe they left out VGA, DVI and TB2.  Insane.  I want the SCSI port back too.  Apple is doomed.


    I can’t believe there’s no RS232 ports!
    I know, right? I've got a CAD app I wrote some years ago. I really hoped I'd be able to run it this time around. But no... They keep refusing to bring back the punch card reader I need for it.

    They're so out of touch with what real pro users need.
