Apple Silicon Macs Thread

New Macs look good! Tho I hate the notch - why does it have to be so big?

Will be interested in seeing reviews of real world usage and while it looks great I won’t be upgrading any time soon - in a few years time when it’s 128GB ram and twice as many cores it should be pretty incredible tho!

What did you all think?

Never used a mac in my life and the m1/max/pro got me really curious.
BUT
Apple prices on my country are a complete joke so for now i’ll keep working on linux

I really like the Macbook Air. I got it last year and I’m still very happy with it. It doesn’t heat. very good for using on my lap, it doesn’t have a fan making it very quiet and the keyboard is good. Whenever I buy a new one in the future it will be a new Macbook air. I guess I will be able to keep it for a long time.

Thanks

It’s indeed a boy but my wife was not keen to name him let mut baby: Baby, I don’t know why

His name’s Joshua!

To compare the M1 Mac Mini and this MBP, it’s a huge leap. Can’t wait to see what they’re going to do for the Mac Pros and iMacs.
