I think the parent means the new Apple Silicon-based MBPs, not the 2019 models. I may be misreading the way you phrased your comment though.
I think they are saying that even the non-pro M1 machines are significantly better than the previous pro models.

I love my AeroPress. Faster, better, and easier than anything else!
I've been a huge AeroPress fan for years (at least 15 I think), but recently moved to a house with a massive kitchen and bought a good mid-range espresso machine and I have to admit, I'm in love with it. I got this one [0] for reference and it's filled with really clever design touches. Only the quality of the steam control dial lets it down, in every other respect it's superb. The AeroPress has gone in a drawer and…

I recently discovered a device ... weights just one gram, foldable, biodegradable, battery holds for 1yr+, costs 2 cents. Stylus is replaceable and costs $1/dozen.
Cool how many brushes has it got? Does it have an undo function or some sort of cloud backup option?

The new amount of control Apple gives you over notifications in the latest iOS'es is a game-changer. I literally just discovered I could bundle all notifications from certain apps and have them notify me at certain times of the day en masse, which is AMAZING.
can I select different notification sound for each app?
The Apple Watch surprised me in how much awareness of my health it generated - mainly how much and what quality sleep I was getting, but also other general signals. It helped me pay more attention and make some good health improvements. Presumably any other smart watch offers similar benefits.
Recommendations for apps to track sleep ? Preferably without subscription but just a one time payment. Petty Apple does not provide a sleep tracking app.

I traded my M1 MBA for the new MBP 14 and I'm feeling regretful. The weight of the MBA and its 16+ hour battery life, just incredible.
Make your own giant, the entire wall, whiteboard for practically nothing. Go to your local lumber, home building supply store and purchase "laminated particle board, shower wall panels". Last time I did this, they were about US $23 for a 6'x9' panel. Two of these completely cover an ordinary single bed sized room from wall to wall. I just drill the thing right into the wall, and grab white-board markers. I showed the…
This is actually genius. How often do you use it?

I'm interested in hearing more about this. Does the tablet itself double as monitor, or was it a hack?
https://onyxboox.com/boox_maxlumi This is the device It claims to not work on macos as a secondary monitor, but it does work for me, however the sides of the "screen" are invisible/cropped, so to use it I have to carefully arrange emacs and firefox inside the visible region. The refresh rate isn't perfect, but its more than good enough for my usage (emacs, looking at docs)

I really like the idea of an e-ink terminal and text editor.

I definitely felt the same with the battery life, until I switched on "Low power mode" while on battery (System Preferences > Battery > Battery > Low Power Mode). I don't notice the drop in performance (even whilst intensively using it, such as compiling code) but what I experience is practically the doubling of its battery life. Enjoy!
