I’m far from an expert in Apple silicon, but this strikes me as having some conservative improvements. And in-depth info out there yet?

#12Why even have an event at this point? There's literally nothing interesting.
Video showing Apple Pencil Pro features was pretty sick, and I ain't even an artist

#13The 256gb and 512gb models have 8gb of ram. The 1tb and 2tb models have 16gb. Not a fan of tying ram to storage.

#16Apple was really losing me with the last generation of intel macbooks but these m class processors are so good they've got me locked in all over again

#17They keep making iPads more powerful while keeping them on the Fisher-Price OS and then wonder why no one is buying them for real work.
Who in their right mind will spend $1300-$1600 on this rather than a MacBook Pro?

#18> M4 makes the new iPad Pro an outrageously powerful device for artificial intelligence
Yeah, well, I'm an enthusiastic M3 user, and I'm sure the new AI capabilities are nice, but hyperbole like this is just asking for snark like "my RTX4090 would like a word".
Other than that: looking forward to when/how this chipset will be available in Macbooks!
