Iām excited to do all kinds of nonsense on my 32 core MBP likeā¦ hm
The way they space out the pricing is devious, by the time you add RAM and 1TB you look at the 16ā Max SKU and go āfuck itā especially if itās from work.

Everyday my 6S battery erodes a little more, and I steel myself for the cruel jackless world ahead.

the final step of my journey: I have upgraded to Windows 10
games work! my computer doesnāt randomly stroke out! I can put my fucking taskbar where ever I want!
I do not miss the rounded corners.
big shoutout to the 10 installer dumping my old Users directory on the new install and now I get to sift through 60 gigs of saves and garbage

MBP reviews are rolling in. They run as fast on battery as mains power.

it can also draw up to like 80w which I was not expecting and puts the power consumption in a different light

This is probably the widest ratio of peak power draw to idle power draw ever, right? 80W/0.2W = 400
This is the draft horse of laptops

it can also bench like a 5950x / 3080 mobile (something like a 1080 Ti / 2070 Super) which is nuts even though the gaming performance is quite poor in practice (not surprising due to poor Metal implementations &c.), so weāre actually up to like 11 tflops of FP32, which I imagine theyāre getting for like 4-5w/tflop, and then the CPU cores can use up to another 40w on their own.
so this goes much further toward answering the question of āwhat would a full-size apple ARM implementation look like,ā I assumed it would only go up to like 40w max but this close to 100w is basically as high as any non-GPU, non-server package ever gets

I think software support for these is still way more of an open question than it was for the M1, Iām curious to see whether that GPU can become nearly as useful as the equivalently powerful Titan Xp that Iāve had for five years and has conservatively triple the viable use cases, but I am excited
I canāt think of another example where a company has actually executed a decade-long plan like this rather than go for bottom dollar discount rate. In retrospect they had to make a lot of bad computers first but good lord.

I am probably gonna wind up waiting until 3nm Apple just like Iām waiting until 5nm Ryzen because I donāt need this in any way yet, my current Macbook is only 3 years old, but I am pretty happy about it
pleased I got my wife an 11" M1 iPad and excited to eventually get the MAXXXX 14" MBP because I do like getting the most powerful computer in the smallest form factor I can

Reconsidering my 16ā MAXXX purchase now but Iām not working on the couch or in public ever so the screen size seemed prime.
The next Air will be a better small computer, I think.

Yeah itās kind of interesting, Apple currently releasing the best computers ever, but like you, only a part of me is frothing. Overall, Iām fine with waiting until everything matures
Then again you and me are both hybrid car owners so I guess that says more about us than about the laptops

Iām in the weird position where I think the M1X is cool as shit but I have no practical need for it, for my own amusement or for work, so I just get to stare longingly at it wishing I had something to do with it
this isnāt even a āitās no good at games!!111ā thing like the trap a lot of idiots have fallen into, I just donāt do any cool Pro shit

Iām in the same boat. Itās exciting but likeā¦ I just canāt see how I can make it work for me. Iām legit thinking about getting like an old $200 2012 mac mini for Mac development.

oh if you just need to make mac builds of w/e and you arenāt in the market for a new laptop anyway then definitely just get the base M1 on a discount imo, itās worth every penny even so, and if thatās above your budget then just get something still-supported from craigslist
I agree it doesnāt really fit enough use cases yet. the M1 did not have this problem, the M1 was everything it needed to be out of the gate. this has a software gap.
