killamch89 Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 Here's a review of the 2020 Macbook Air.
skyfire Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Their new homegrown chip seems to be pretty much good. A lot of positive reviews coming out. It can pretty much match the gaming computers performance. Looking forward to their future builds. AndreiMirfi 1

The thing is that developers are having somewhat of a challenge to get these new mac running their software. I wonder if more laptop manufacturers might go down this road as well and produce their own chips?
skyfire Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 I think they are making walled garden like china did with their country. Apple with their own chip would completely destroy hackintosh and the OS hacking on other processors. It would take 4 more years to break the emulation. So developers who are loyal love the new processors but cross platform developers hate it.
DudeThatsErin Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 I can't wait to see what Apple does for their future M1 Macbooks. It is amazing and I can't wait.
Empire Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 This was painful to watch! Linus looked like he was in pain the whole time and never smiled or acted anything like his normal behavior. If this product would’ve been from a different company I have a feeling he would’ve been a little more upbeat with a more typical high energy review. But apple? never really a apple mac user.
skyfire Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 m1 is pretty good. You can use the Windows 10 on it using the parallels so it seems to be working out pretty fine from what I have noticed so far.

In all of this, I'm just glad that everyone is abandoning Intel because their chips are too expensive and inefficient.

I though it would take a few generations before they caught up to Intel but they're absolutely roasting them!

Another thing is that intel is purposefully keeping the chip prices of i7 and i9 so high that they want premium takers. and AMD beat them by making ryzen 7 beating the performance of those chips at better cost.

So true. AMD chips with similar performance to those Intel chips are a lot lower in price, more efficient and multitask far better.
skyfire Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 Yeah that is where the Intel failed. I guess Intel thought about ignoring the competition also make them lose the Apple deal and now from m1 series apple also ditched the Intel.
