Nano-texture option for the display is nice. IIRC it's the first time since the 2012 15" MBP that a matte option has been offered?

I hope that the response times have improved, because it has been quite poor for a 120 Hz panel.

Wonder how good are those for LLMs (compared to M3 Pro/Max)... They talk about the Neural Engine a lot in the press release.

It seems they also update the base memory on MacBook Air:

How viable is Asani Linux these days? MacBook hardware looks amazing.

I don't think they had Space Grey on the M3 models either. That was initially my preference, but I went with the Black and quite like it.

The M4 Max goes up to 128GB RAM, and "over half a terabyte per second of unified memory bandwidth" - LLM users rejoice.

Have they published this ahead of other pages or is it just me?

The linked Apple Store page says "MacBook Pro blasts forward with the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips" so it seems like the old version of the page still?
