So they used to sell 15" and 17" laptops and got rid of the 17", now they're selling 14" and 16", I wonder why?
"Company developing Mac Pro desktop with 40 cores, new Mac mini" It will be interesting to see how close the rumors are to fact when real hardware announcements happen. Given how fast the M1 in the MacBook Air is performing for tasks like video editing I wonder if they will really need to push to such extremes as putting 40 cores in a Mac Pro -- unless they plan to edit four 8K streams at once?
I still deal with 1080p and get annoyed at my hardware's limitations. If I could justify a Mac Pro and Apple's accelerator card, I'd get them in a heartbeat.
For certain applications, no matter how good the hardware you have is, there's always a desire for more, faster hardware.

> Apple last fall started replacing Intel processors in the iPhone and iPad with the house-designed M1 chips, which eat less power and let the mobile devices run the same apps as Macs. Say what now?
They mean phones and Macs now both run ARM chips... Doesn't mean same apps of course.
The problematic part of that quote is where it claims that iPhones and iPads used to have Intel processors.

Isn't part of it that there's basically no bezel on the 14 and 16 models? I know Apple minimized that over the years it really is essentially zero now. I haven't checked but I wouldn't be surprised if the footprint of a 16" MBP is actually smaller than most 15.6" (or are they 15.4"?) non-Apple laptops.
However I still wish they'd be able to get the bezel down to the size of an XPS 13

I believe that's the correct answer. However I still wish they'd be able to get the bezel down to the size of an XPS 13

40 cores isn't extreme. "Titan S375 - Dual AMD EPYC Rome 7002 Series - Scientific Research Server PC up to 128 cores" https://www.titancomputers.com/Titan-S375-Dual-AMD-EPYC-Rome...

Doesn't the XPS have the weird webcam position?
