M1 MacBook Air review: nearly as transformative as the original
What is the word on compatibility with the Adobe Suite applications? My son mostly uses those for his video and photo work. He has been limping along with a handed down Air. Maybe it’s time to get a new machine. But I don’t want to go there if it’s going to introduce issues into his workflow...

Apple Silicon M1 Mac mini review - speed today and a promise of more later
At present, eGPUs do not work with M1 Macs. Thus, it would do nothing.MarcDUB said:Hi there, great review BTW. I currently use an EGPU (Radeon W5700) with my MBP. Will this EGPU: one - work and boost performance; and two - allow me to use more than 2 monitors through it with this M1 Mini? Cheers, Marc -
Apple Silicon M1 Mac mini review - speed today and a promise of more later
So what is the problem? If you need a machine now, and you don’t think the new ASi machines will work for your use, buy an Intel Mac—they are still being sold and you know what they can do.bobolicious said:
Unfortunately I can't work on 'perhaps', now or in the future, and look to software developers for such recommendations.GG1 said:I'm still using a 2012 Mini with 32GB RAM... But I think this new Mx family will make us rethink RAM. Perhaps 16GB in Mx is roughly the same as 32GB DDR4, as someone said above.I hope someone can chime in and add to this or correct me.
Increasing GPU reliance has shifted the goal posts as well, and while the M1 seems significantly more powerful, some apps recommend discrete GPU.
The 2011 mini had such as an option, appropriate for its class at at the time, so I guess it is wait and see, again.If you don’t need a new machine now, wait and see what shakes out with ASi...
Why are people acting like Apple is putting them in some sort of compromising bind?

Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max Review: A lot of smartphone, and not for everybody
I mean, seriously! What’s with the chip-on-the-shoulder snark, people?Mike Wuerthele said:
Because, typically, when Apple tells us something, it's correct. It is their manufactured item, after all.philboogie said:
Then why state so,Mike Wuerthele said:
This is what we've been told, but other than that, we have no way to confirm it independently.mr. h said:
Is this definitely correct? Yours is the first review I’ve seen that states this. I was under the impression that only the front glass had the Ceramic Shield and that the back glass is an older generation of Gorilla Glass.AppleInsider said:Apple is also employing its toughened Ceramic Shield glass to the front and back [emphasis added]
The front and back glasses are mounted on different substrates. The front is laminate, with that OLED display. The rear is effectively glued to the metal back of the phone. That in itself changes the behavior of the glass under different stressors.

M1 Macs deliver Apple's first support for USB4
These devices are NOT pro devices. These are consumer devices. GPUs? 3+ displays? For an entry level/low cost device?lezmaka said:"M1 Macs with support for both the refreshed new USB4 and compatibility with existing the Thunderbolt 3 devices that Mac users already have" except external GPUs or anyone that uses more than 2 displays.Get a grip. Don’t let the eye popping benchmarks fool you, these are not the Apple Si pro machines you are looking for because they are NOT pro machines. (I know the 13 incher says pro, but let’s not let marketing sidetrack the discussion) Wait till Apple releases a 16inch MBP or Mac Pro that has limitations that matter to pros to complain about that.
