  1. I hope the performance difference between the #MacMini M4 an the M2 is big enough to upgrade.

    On the other hand, I hope the M2 doesn’t devalue too much to pay half for the M4. I can guess you will have more chances on Facebook Marketplace for a good sale, tho.

  2. Just wanted to pass on the savings. $499 for the base Mac Mini 8GB/256GB:

    - Great for your first computer
    - Good for office tasks
    - Fine for light photo editing
    - Overall, very reliable and low-consumption

    The rest who needs a more performant machine, look elsewhere.

  3. Just watched the Apple event for the new iPads.

    The "regular" iPad is completely meaningless at this point. It's iPad Mini if you want a small one with a phone hardware stack, or iPad Air vs iPad Pro. And that boils down to wanting something adequate vs wanting the latest and greatest.

    I love my iPad Air with M1. It's cool to see it upgraded, but M2 is not enough of an upgrade to matter. I'll likely wait until a generation of iPad Air with M4. Maybe even later. I don't really fully exploit what I have as it is.

    I will, definitely, be looking out for other hardware from Apple later this year, though. I'm very likely upgrading to the iPhone 16 (probably Pro), having my iPhone 12 mini's battery refreshed, and handing that one down.

    I'm also hoping we get a Mac Mini with M4 series chips, which I'd love to get a M4 Pro Mac Mini. That one might be wishful thinking, though. Looking at other lineup changes in recent years, I expect this to go M3 and M3 Pro, no Max nor Ultra, with M4 lineup being reserved for Mac Studio and/or Mac Pro.

    We'll see, I guess!

  12. Ist ein #Apple #Mac mini M2 12 core mit Kanonen auf Spatzen und würde ein 10 core mehr als ausreichend sein? Oder lohnt sich das Upgrade schon?

    Anwendung: Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign. Ab und an Premiere mit 4K Videos aber eher immer im Clip-Bereich < 10 Minuten.

  13. I thought part of the point of #Apple designing its own CPUs was so it can update its lineup more regularly. But despite the M2 having been around since June 2022, half its lineup—including the flagship #MacStudio—is still stuck on the M1, and may stay that way for some time. Frustrating for customers to have to choose between the best form factor and the latest technology. #AppleSilicon #AppleM1 #AppleM2 #Mac macrumors.com/2023/02/05/apple

  14. As a tech enthusiast and PC tinkerer, I am far more excited by @frameworkcomputer in 2023 than by anything Apple's unveiled recently. Really hoping for a future of upgradability and #righttorepair.

  15. Mac mini mit M2 Pro im Test: Kleiner Profi (h+)

    So günstig gab es bislang keinen Mac mit Apples Pro-Chip: Der neue Mac mini spielt jetzt auf Niveau des MacBook Pro – und kratzt auch am Mac Studio.

  16. Erste Benchmarks: So schneidet der Mac mini M2 Pro im Vergleich zum M1 Max ab

    Bei GeekBench sind erste Messungen der CPU-Leistung des Mac mini mit M2 Pro aufgetaucht. Die Ergebnisse lassen erste Rückschlüsse auf die Leistungsfähigkeit zu.

  17. The M1 MacBook Pro is the best laptop I've owned. It's been a good two years, but I just ordered the M2 Air. #macbookairm2 #applem2

    Here's what I'm looking forward to:

    ✅ Taller display
    ✅ Thinner bezels
    ✅ 24GB RAM (vs 16GB)
    ✅ Better webcam (1080p vs 720p)
    ✅ Thinner and lighter
    ✅ No more Touch Bar

  18. THIS is the analysis video I wait for whenever a new mobile chip comes out. Gary Explains breaking down the new Apple M2 Pro and M2 Max SOC.
    Beyond just Apple's nebulous performance claims (and unlabeled graphs and improvements) Gary does a great job of detailing what we should expect on new Macs.
