I was considering ann old M1 Mac for iOS development (current machine is an early 2015) but this might tip me over and get this instead.
If only they’d support Linux even the minimum amount. Asahi is not quite that, I feel.
Ikr?
This is exactly what I would want from a laptop.
The M series chips are insane. I look in the dock and there’s tons of stuff running, pushing two 4K monitors and the laptop screen, and it’s just never slow.
When comparing the MacBook Neo’s performance to existing Macs, the A18 Pro’s multi-core performance is on par with the M1 chip in the MacBook Air, but single-core performance is much higher than it was with the M1. It’s closer to the M3 or M4 chip.
What’s more interesting is that fact that macOS is well-optimized enough to run smoothly on a mobile-class chipset. Good software as well as the hardware.
Even better than I thought it would be. This thing is going to actually make other laptop manufacturers have to innovate. Apple is about to eat Intel and AMD’s lunch (again).
A school full of little girls was just exploded. They are dead. Capitalism persists.
