New Mac mini with M2 & M2 Pro - all the rumors so far
Hopefully they keep the internal power supply. An external brick is a step backward.Also, how do you open this one? Back to the putty knife? Annoying. (And yes, I will be opening whatever Apple releases, it's part of what I do.)

One Georgia school system will hand MacBook Air or iPad to every student
waveparticle said:Like I said iPad and MacBook are in the same league. To some people you choose one or the other.
Not even close. The iPad is adequate for early elementary kids, by the time they get to middle school they should already have a real computer.

Apple wants to shrink MacBook Pro by removing speaker grills

Same screen size, bigger keyboard and smaller body.TenApplesUpOnTop said:Even smaller MacBook Pro? No thanks.All winsNot really.I bet they could squeeze a 17.5" screen in something the size of the old 17" with no notch, and have plenty of room left for speakers, user-upgradeable storage and RAM, and even a user-replaceable battery. Maybe even a built-in numeric keypad.Smaller isn't better.

Dropbox won't be fully functional when macOS 12.3 arrives
Oh good. That's going to end up being a nightmare for a few of my clients.Gotta remember to disable automatic updates for them, otherwise I'll end up reformatting machines to take them back to 12.2.As much as I hate Microsloth, at least they've got an easy way to revert most updates that break stuff. -
Benchmarks show that Intel's Alder Lake chips aren't M1 Max killers

Apple is now able to produce their own SoC specifically designed for a piece of hardware, they can build custom silicon for every product, from AirPods to AppleCar, something that no other company will be able to do.Nope. Apple has ZERO chip production capability. Apple builds virtually nothing. The only actual Apple 'factories' are a final assembly facility in Cork, Ireland and a final assembly facility in Texas. ALL the components those facilities use are imported, mostly from China. Everything else Apple 'builds' is actually manufactured by other companies, mostly Foxconn in China.
