Apple Silicon MacBook Air versus 13-inch MacBook Pro - which to buy
Apple is using the same number comparison they used on their phone processors except this time it’s against their 3 previous computers. The air, the 13inch pro and the previous Mac mini. They always do the same comparisons every year. The only numbers they can give is how much faster it is then the previous models. We gotta stop expecting Apple to not be Apple! Lol!JWSC said:
I was taken aback by the lack of actual numbers in the presentation charts as well. It was really quite weird, even for Apple. I get that they would risk the press and geeks comparing apples to oranges because the M1 is so very different than what it replaces. I guess we’ll have to wait for Geekbench performance numbers with, hopefully, optimized code.cpsro said:Performance comparisons against some not-exactly-specified Intel platform when running some unspecified task don’t cut it. We’re supposed to continue evaluating our needs Apple is using the against some Intel thingy when trying to decide which M1 system to buy?
How about Geekbench numbers, for example? Cinebench anyone?
Does the M1 handle SSD encryption/decryption? How fast are the SSDs? Is there still a T2 (or newer) security chip like Intel Macs have?
Hard to call anything “Pro”—or expect more than a year or two practical life—without a 32GB option, but I get how that’s part of the difficulty/limitations of SoC. That part sucks. It’s easy to see how failed chip fabrication trickles down the product line and the fewer choices the better in that regard for Apple.

Apple Silicon MacBook Air versus 13-inch MacBook Pro - which to buy
When I watched the keynote it was plain to see the differences in these two machines! They gave us the specs on both the air and the pro models. They even showed you the recommended work load differences!The pro model has a FAN, which means it’s gonna be clocked higher thus the reason for the FAN! Which also means a heavier work load than the air! How hard is that to understand?” Nobody’s gonna buy a computer and not research it first. It’s not Apple’s job to sell you on one or the other, there job is to TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE and let you decide which one you want. How is any of this confusing?” The pro is not worth getting over the air just for better battery life? I would agree if that were the only difference but it’s not! Try editing and rendering multiple 4K videos over a few hours on a machine with no FAN! I’ll go one further, try recording and editing on quality
music production software a few hours on a machine
with no FAN! Not gonna work for long! So NO” we are not wrapped in confusion by these two machines! I understand you need talking points however assumed confusion by these two machines is not one of them, as we can readily tell the difference.

Epic says Apple no longer plans to disable 'Sign in with Apple'
I like Apple’s closed platform that’s One of the main reason Why I buy their products, if something’s not working right whether it’s hardware or software I go straight to the Apple store and tell them to fix it or show me what the hell I’m suppose to be doing! Lol! I don’t want to give that up.

Apple's 'Fortnite' takedown will cause incalculable harm to users, says Epic
What if all the other app Developers decided to do what epic is trying to do wouldn’t that ruin the App Store experience? Not to mention the possibility of what could happen to the entire IOS platform.
