![]() So how does Apple claim its “12x faster?” We have no idea, which is odd since Apple is comparing a MacBook with a MacBook and presumably any comparison tests it runs, can be easily validated.ĭo we doubt Apple’s claims? Not entirely, but it would really make us feel better to know what it used. ![]() The 11th-gen CPU that replaced it, for example, pushed the turbo boost to 4.8GHz. But it’s not for me.Intel’s 10th-gen Ice Lake chips were its first 10nm-based generation and were an improvement over the older 8th-gen, 14nm-based chips, but still it was dinged by some for the relatively low boost clocks. People are becoming more privacy and security conscious and I think in the long run Apple’s strategy will win out.

I think Apple is very smart positioning it as a fantastic speaker, that also does other things. Even if I do get a new iPad Pro and a Pencil, a leather case for it strikes me as a bit gauche.Īnd finally the HomePod. On a laptop it still strikes me as good, but a full touch screen would be better. Also a TouchBar makes more sense on a desktop computer. Frankly once they roll out more Pro computers, unless they broaden the TouchBar beyond the MacBooks, developers will be slow to use it. If not this year in another year when iOS 12 won’t run on it.Ī full wireless keyboard YES!! I do wish they had been able to get the TouchBar in it.

I am simply astonished they kept and updated the MacBook Air. My 2016 5K 27 in iMac is really allI need for a while. I can’t wait to play my “How expensive a computer can I configure” game with it. As far as the MacBook Pro, in addition to upgrading the processor, did they put the more form fitting, and higher capacity battery they supposedly couldn’t get working for the introduction last fall? I’ve heard mixed opinions about how hard this will be to upgrade the iMac yourself. I want to see the teardown on the new iMac and MacBook Pro.

HomePod ($349) is Apple’s entry into both the home music market as well as the home virtual assistant market. The 10.5-inch model has a much smaller bezel so that the larger-screen device has the same footprint as the 9.7-inch model.
