My pet wish was that they would remove the HDD options to make room for the iMac Pro’s dual blower cooler. Even with chips in the same wattage, it would allow more boosts and stay quieter.

As speedbumps go this is entirely fine though. Apart from HDD-only options being criminal.

Edit: No T2, weird.

so i assume with true tone display, the display is no longer laminated? correct?

Don't see why those are related. Since it gains the "Air" back and isn't a successor to the 329 iPad, I was assuming the opposite, but I can't see it listed on their page. Guess a hands on will have to tell. 


Edit: Yup! 

• Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating
• Fully laminated display
• Antireflective coating

Not being picky but it's a small but important distinction, I don't think this is the successor to the 'budget' iPad - they're still selling that alongside it, and this gains the Air name. 

So I'm assuming this brings back the laminated and antireflective screen to gain the name back? 

Edit: Page confirms antireflective screen is back. I'm assuming laminated but not sure yet. 

Tailosive bruh here is mentioning FOUR GPU stacks....Let's say TB4 doubles bandwidth as every TB generation has, that still seems like a stretch, unless you're manually connecting each stack with a direct cable. Otherwise stack 1 has to carry all the bandwidth for the next three GPUs and all other components...

Just from a bandwidth flow standpoint, this seems nuts. 

One thing I could think of is not use TB4 at all - just go native PCI-E with as many lanes as it needs to make this work.

So...no more running Windows via Parallels/Fusion?

If so, that would be a major bummer. I need Windows very little these days but there’s always that one application you absolutely need that is Windows-only. 

As a happy timing co-wink-idink, Windows on ARM has also arrived, and not the stripped down RT version.
