3D Touch was so awesome. What a step backwards.

Will the Vision Pro headset disrupt the high-end TV market?
"Will the Vision Pro headset disrupt the high-end TV market?"
No. Nobody wants to watch movies or sports with friends/ family and everybody wearing scuba gear.

MacBook Air 15-inch with 'M2-like' chip in testing behind closed doors at Apple
This 1TB m.2 SSD is $53tenthousandthings said:
This is disingenuous. Take HP ZBook Firefly, for example. Upgrade from 8GB to 16GB RAM is $140. Apple MacBook Air is $200, for unified memory upgrade, not just RAM upgrade. Upgrade from 256GB to 1TB storage is $365. Apple MacBook Air is $400.tyler82 said:re: sluggish Mac sales
Apple asking an additional grand to upgrade the memory to an acceptable amount and a 1TB hard drive is what turns me off from buying a new Mac. Especially when market prices for these components are a fraction of that cost.
So we’re talking $505 (HP) versus $600 (Apple) total, and it’s not a one-to-one comparison because with Apple you get a GPU memory boost, not just CPU.
I gather you also mean 16GB isn’t an “acceptable” amount of RAM or unified memory. The HP upgrade to 32GB from 8GB RAM is $410. upgrade to 24GB from 8GB of unified memory is $400.So, again, we’re talking $775 (HP) versus $800 (Apple) total — the additional 8GB of RAM you get with HP still doesn’t outweigh the boost in graphics performance you get with Apple’s approach.
