Amazing. My M3Max is going to look like a paper-weight very soon. And that's fine by me. When I get an M6 or M7Max to replace it it'll be amazing.
I’m trying to find any reason I can that my M1 Max needs replacement; it’s hard. How do you justify it?

The M5 MacBook Pro still gets the Broadcom WiFi chip but the M5 iPad Pros get the N1 and C1X (Sweet). All in all, apple is doing some incredible things with hardware. Software teams at apple really need to get their act together. The M1 itself is so powerful that nobody really needs to upgrade that for most things most people do on their computers. Tahoe however makes my M1 Air feel sluggish doing the exact same task…
I think many IT departments will be thankful for that as Wifi behaviour can be challenging and hopefully will lower ticket counts.

Sometimes I just feel like buying the latest and greatest game, I have an m4 too, the choices are usually quite abysmal. I agree.
My solution is cloud gaming in that case, such as GeforceNow (for compatible games), or Shadow (for a whole PC to do as you please).

Apple is binning the iPad Pro chips: Storage CPU ≤ 512GB 3 P-cores (and 6 E-cores) 1TB+ 4 P-cores (and 6 E-cores) https://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/specs/
Storage-gating is really disgusting considering how much Apple charges for storage.

iirc in the past it was about memory and that larger storage needs more memory for caching. So this made at least some sense. I guess yields might be good enough that they can afford to bin with another core in there as well. Memory is probably still the main reason for binning in the first place.

The main roadblock for porting the games to Mac has never been the hardware, but Apple themselves. Their entire attitude is that they can do whatever they please with their platforms, and expect the developers to adjust to the changes, no matter how breaking. It’s a constant support treadmill, fixing the stuff that Apple broke in your previously perfectly functioning product after every update. If said fixing is even…
> an absolutely ancient OpenGL version I still don't get this. Apple is a trillion dollar company. How much does it cost to pay a couple of engineers to maintain an up to date version on top of Metal? Their current implementation is 4.1, it wouldn't cost them much to provide one for 4.6. Even Microsoft collaborated with Mesa to build a translation on top of dx12, Apple could do the same.

Still? They really don't overcharge. The storage they sell is much, much, much faster than what everyone compares it to at lower prices.
