Interested if the macsafe cable ends in a power adapter or ends in a usb-c plug. E.g can I attach a usb-c to usb-c cable to the accompanying power brick when traveling?
It ends in USB-C =)

#312Can anyone comment on how well M1 chips work with X86 development workflows e.g. Brew, Docker, etc? I know there are still problems if you're heavily dependent on Virtualization software like VMWare and Virtual Box.
For example, will I be able to just do the same "brew install x" for the majority of the *nix apps, libs, services, etc. that I use daily?
How bout Docker Desktop and Docker images? For example, if all my teammates are using older Intel Macs, PCs, etc. and we deploy and develop using X86 images, will I need to be very careful that I don't end up pushing Arm based Docker images to our repo? Will I need to have modified Docker / Docker-Compose files that reference Arm versions of our images so they can run on my machine?
This just seems like a pain if you're the only one using Arm, while the rest of the team and various environments are on X86-64. It took years before most Node, Python, Java, etc. incompatibilities between Unix and Windows were ironed out, and I still run into issues when, e.g., an inexperienced developer on Windows hardcodes some 'backslashed' path in their app or assumes Windows line endings instead of standard Unix.

#313HDMI, SD Card, and MagSafe. Things people on the internet inclusive but not limited to HN said they will never come back because the future is USB-C. Now I just want to know if the new keyboard has more key travel distance back to the like of MacBook Pro 2015. In case anyone wants to know the thickness difference. MacBook Pro 13" 2015 - 1.8 cm MacBook Pro 13" 2016 - 1.49 / 1.55 cm MacBook Pro 14" / 16" 2021 - 1.55 /…
Keyboard travel was fixed in 2020. I have the last Intel MBP, spec'd to last, with a physical escape key and Touch ID, and I love it.
It was fixed but not brought back to its former glory.

#314$1999 starting price. Even higher than predicted.
These prices all feel like standard MacBook Pro pricing to me. I just ordered one (M1 Max, 64GB, 2TB) and it cost as much as that tier always seems to cost me.

#315Kills the touch bar, the light touch keyboard, adds back weight, card reader, ports and the mag safe. Feels like an apology for prior design decisions. My 2011 MBP is new again!
I was laughing when every single one of these changes was presented as "revolutionary" in the keynote. No, you just had to revert everything because your previous revolution was universally hated by users.
The more hilarious thing was the hate for it.
I would much rather have more usb-c ports that can do anything and add dongles, than have ports that are functionally limited.

#316The maxed out 16-inch model comes in at a cool $6099.

#317And so ends the last of the Dark Days of Johnny Ive. Don't get me wrong: he innovated a lot. My theory is when Jobs died, he lost his counterbalance and his designs suddenly became without compromise (no that isn't a good thing). It's when we saw the 12" Macbook as the crusade for thinness at all costs (terrible performance, only one port, a terrible version of the macbook Air), the end of the Macbook Air (before get…
The 12” MacBook was beloved by my elderly parents, who liked the low weight design and didn’t need to do anything other than check email and the web. Horses for courses. It was a great machine for the right audience.
My girlfriend also loved her 11" Macbook Air and was disappointed that the smallest option is now a 13" Air.

#31864GB of 512bit unified memory is REALLY fast/huge This will be better than many training GPUs for ML... Better than dual socket servers... I wonder if the mac pro will be dual proc...
Yeah, but can it run CUDA pipelines?
Considering that CUDA is a
proprietary technology from Nvidia, how could they?

#320For me these devices look incredible. Can anything come even close to the performance/energy usage of these? And with a great screen, sound, and good webcam?
And as an iPhone user, the notch really isn't a big deal. In fact it's a positive because you get more usuable screen space.
Yes they're expensive, but, for something we use every day for 8hours+, it seems worth it.
