Kuo: Apple to release cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone processor

The A18 pro is comparable in single core to the M2 that my MacBook Air has. Blew my mind.

M5 MacBook Air Coming Spring 2026 With M5 Mac Studio and Mac Mini in Development

Unless Apple gives ProMotion to MacBook Air, I’m gonna hang on to my M2 Macbook Air for at least a couple years more.

Apple Chip Chief Tells Staff He's Not Leaving 'Anytime Soon'

Yep it’s crazy. The fact that I can play BG3 at a steady 60 FPS on my M4 MacBook Air is crazy to me, given the fact that it was almost impossible on the M2.

Can someone please explain the difference between M3 and M4

Like you’re five: Transistors generate electrical signals. It’s how computers work. The more transistors, the faster it is. M1 has 16 billion transistors M2 has 20 billion transistors M3 has 25 billion transistors M4 has 28 billion transistors The problem is transistors produce heat, especially when...

I never imagined to say this but, is Apple becoming one of the most budget friendly brands?

Base model Apple Silicon Macbook Air have always been incredible value when on sale. M1 went as low as 749 in 2021 if I recall correctly, and while M2/M3 had a price increase, M4 came back to $999 MSRP (and with 16GB RAM!) and you can find those for $899 regularly and sometimes $799. It's not even j...

Can someone explain technically why Apple shared memory is so great that it beats many high end CPU and some low level GPUs in LLM use case?

Unified memory can, and in Apple's case, does mean you can use the same data in CPU and GPU code without having to move the data back and forth. Apple Silicon has a memory bandwidth of 68 GB/s on the M1 chip (non-Pro/Max), the slowest processor package for macOS-operated computers, e.g. the MacBook ...

For those who develop on Mac

You will nowadays also get good deals on M1/M1 Pro/M1 MAX or even M2 Macbooks. I would not start with Intel today. That platform is dead from Apple‘s perspective. Also, even the base M1 Macbook Air will most likely destroy that Intel Macbook in terms of CPU performance… As an IDE you can use Rider o...

Tahoe vs Sequoia battery life

Would be great to now have a comparison with Apple Intelligence turned off. It bothers me that M2 Air is now the least-lasting computer on Tahoe.

Kuo: 2026 OLED MacBook Pro to Feature Touch Screen Display

Its not really a plastic screen thing. Most normal gentle cleaning liquids/water/alcohol/what-have-you don’t work with 99% of wiping clothes available. Only very, very specific wiping clothes at just the right dampness seem to work. In my years of using tech I’ve never encountered a more finicky scr...

Bought a Quest 3 512gb for $160 today

Man, if I’m being honest I did it for the high. I’m kind of a facebook marketplace junkie. I recently bought an open box MacBook Air M2 for $500 when they rarely ever fall below $750 (tax included).
