    After 1475 days of waiting, Apple unveils new Mac mini: quad-core, >32 GB RAM, all SSDs

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 07:35 AM PDT

    I'm so happy Apple finally decided to create a laptop with Touch ID, and no TouchBar.

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 02:51 PM PDT

    I really dislike the touchbar, and have missed physical escape keys on my new work laptop. But, the 13" Macbook Pro without the TouchBar was also missing one of the best parts of the new lines, Touch ID.

    With the new Air, they've created a really awesome package for people like me. It's smaller than the 13" Pro, has Touch ID, and has physical function keys. And it's cheaper! If I needed a new laptop, this one would be a no brainer, and I finally feel like I can recommend a laptop in the line to most people.

    There is no reason for the MacBook to exist with the new MacBook Air

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 08:40 AM PDT

    The baseline MacBook costs more than the MacBook Air and is a downgrade in literally every way. Smaller screen, older generation keyboard, 480p camera, no thunderbolt 3, only 1 port, worse CPUs that are from last generation, no Touch ID.

    The MacBook no longer makes sense, and it didn't even make sense compared to the baseline MacBook Pro.

    Apple now sells a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle as iPad Pro drops headphone jack

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 08:38 AM PDT

    128GB SSD for entry macbooks in 2018 and 200+ for 256GB is practically insulting our intelligence. Apple.

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 09:22 AM PDT

    Also the Air costs only 100 less than the cheapest pro, in Switzerland even just 70 less. It really makes no sense. The Air should be priced 100 cheaper and with 256GB SSDs. Then it would be fair.

    Didn't see him in today's keynote at all. Should I be worried?

    The price for the MacBook Pro without Touchbar doesn’t make any sense compared to the new MacBook Air.

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 08:33 AM PDT

    You only get a higher clocked processor from the last generation, starting at a higher price. No Touch ID, no more ports. Working at a large Apple Premium Reseller in Germany, this will be a pain in the ass to tell customers the differences between these two devices.

    Radeon Pro Vega Graphics Coming to MacBook Pro Next Month Apple also today announced new MacBook Pro graphics options that will bring powerful Radeon Pro Vega graphics to MacBook Pro for the first time. These new graphics options deliver up to 60 percent faster graphics performance for the most demanding video editing, 3D design and rendering workloads.1

    Apple charges less for their usb-c to 3.5 mm adapter ($9) than Google ($12).

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 05:27 PM PDT

    Just wanted to throw that out there. Always here everyone complaining about Apples prices but when it comes to a direct equal product they are cheaper by 25%.

    PSA: New Macbook Air has a low-power processor like the 12" macbook. It does not compete w/ the Macbook Pro processor

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 12:25 PM PDT

    I know there's been a lot of discussion about the new macbook air today but it seems that a lot of people are assuming the "i5" processor offered in the new Air is similar to the i5 found in the previous Air and the current MBP. Please be aware this is not true.

    We don't have the exact processor model numbers yet, but you can just compare the clock speeds:

    So it's pretty clear that the Macbook Air processor is virtually the same as the "i5" in the Macbook 12"

    The graphics chip is also pretty telling:

    • 12" macbook has Intel UHD Graphics 615.

    • Macbook Air (2018) has Intel UHD Graphics 617

    • Base Macbook pro (no touch bar) has Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640.

    From a performance perspective:

    Important Note: it appears the new Macbook Air is actively cooled, unlike the 12" macbook. So we should see somewhat better performance than the 12" macbook, but it is highly unlikely to match MBP Performance

    Important Note 2: For those unaware, Intel rebranded these low-power chips (which are part of the Y family of processors). Previously, they called m3/m5/m7 but are now called i3/i5/i7, despite their specs being a significant step below "traditional" 15w i series processors

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 08:37 AM PDT

    I was going through the product comparison page on apple's website and this one took my attention. Just a PSA for someone who uses their iPad to take pictures and take advantage of that bigger display.

    Apple is trying hard to pitch iPad as a PC replacement and Xbox-rivalling console, but they aren’t doing enough to make it so...

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 09:29 AM PDT

    Seriously, over a dozen times today Tim Cook & Co touted the latest iPads or for that matter, iPad in general as a PC replacement and a Console rival. They bought up data to tout their iPads as "more powerful than 92% of portable PCs"

    That's some real good marketing right there. And there lies the problem.

    The iPads still don't have a proper File Management System and Xcode to replace a PC. I can't transfer songs from my iPad to my iPhone by simply plugging the latter in, the Photoshop app demoed today was made on a PC. Conventional ways of interaction like Mouse and a keyboard still feel way more intuitive than what the iPad has to offer.

    Regarding the Xbox comparison, the A12 Bionic is insanely powerful but it lacks a proper cooling system. It doesn't have the required heat dissipation way to make the iPad perform on par with a full fledged console for longer than a minute.

    Apple, you can call the iPad with whatever-replacement you like, but the software and at times the hardware is really, really holding back this machine.

    A12 Bionic is an absolute monster, but it's held back by the restrictive software and a proper heat dissipation system.
