  • Apple Silicon Mac mini dev kit looks like a desktop iPad Pro

    macky the mackymacky the macky
    “This doesn't mean that Apple's platforms are converging, however. The Mac remains optimized to work in a conventional computing desktop, driven largely by a keyboard and precise pointer rather than touch screens. There's no evidence that Apple is evaluating a shift to make its Mac displays into touchscreens, for example. That also indicates that Apple Pencil is not coming to the Mac anytime soon, nor will MacBook screens begin detaching to turn into an oddly shaped tablet, just because everyone else is trying that out.“

    But, but, but...since you CAN hook an iPad Pro up to an existing Mac, you can use a Pencil on a Mac, now...today...

    No word on Windows support? That's gonna be a deal breaker for some.
    Ima not sure why they didn’t say anything about Windows virtualization, but they demoed enough Intel-native apps to show you that current Windows virtualization software should continue to run on Apple Silicon machines...

    Sad! grab an Intel Mac Pro while you can. ARM Macs will be inferior in performance.

    Did anyone actually expect the Surface Neo to come out this year? How convenient to blame it on something nobody will question. 
    To be clear, Microsoft have not blamed it on COVID-19, that is currently just speculation.
    Well, one of the desigers was sick, and the other didn't want to work alone...

  • ARM Mac Pro coming sooner rather than later, says Jean-Louis Gassee

    If the Mac Pro becomes the likely candidate for the ARM chips then the apparent upgradeability of the machine would be limited. How many versions of ARM chips will Apple create (8 core, 12 core, 16 core or 28 core)? I do not think this would be economically feasible for the pro-market because Apple will overcharge for these processors as they overcharge for their RAM and other components. This would be a mistake for Apple because they have already priced this machine out of reach for the low-end professionals. The more Apple wants to control its components the more it will hurt the customer because of the greed of Tim Cook's Apple. I am sorry, I have been a long time Apple customer but see the end of the road for me buying any more Apple products because of Apple's apparent unyielding price structure! Macs no more for me!

    Oh. Boo hoo!
