One thing any missed

Air and even some Pro notebooks will have GPU with lot of disabled cores, not 8 as advertised.

The biggest scam in computer history I think.

That chip it’s a lithographic achievement, all good, but the price they charge for that shit is too much for me to believe. Those margins they are getting Absolutely amazing. You can’t fix it on any way, and encryption just makes it a real pain in the ass.

In future when apple buys nvidia and all goes full circle we will have spectacular achievements real improvements!!!

This first gen is just the beginning.

Don’t buy it

Some hardware comments

• Almost totally unrepairable
• All parts cross signed and serialized, custom small chips
• DRAM impossible to replace
• If main LSI has any issues - your SSD is dead due to unnecessary integration
• Thermal issues, where OS always try to suddenly slow down cores or GPU or neuro ML to fit into thermal package

MacBook Pro, same low power M1 chip, but this time it has small active cooling (25w max dissipation)

The 13-inch MacBook Pro is Apple's most popular pro notebook. Its 8-core CPU, when paired with the MacBook Pro's active cooling system, is up to 2.8x faster than the previous generation, delivering game-changing performance when compiling code, transcoding video, editing high-resolution photos, and more.

• The 8-core GPU is up to 5x faster, allowing users to enjoy super smooth graphics performance whether they are designing a graphics-intensive game or a new product.
• ML is up to 11x faster.
• With up to 17 hours of wireless web browsing and up to 20 hours of video playback, MacBook Pro delivers up to twice the battery life of the previous generation and the longest battery life ever on a Mac.

Other new features in the new 13-inch MacBook Pro include 'studio-quality mics' for super clear recordings and calls, and Apple's latest camera ISP in the M1 chip enables sharper images and more detail in shadows and highlights on video calls. The new MacBook Pro also delivers best-in-class security with the Secure Enclave in M1 and Touch ID. And it features two Thunderbolt ports with USB 4 support to connect to more peripherals than ever, including Apple's Pro Display XDR in full 6K resolution.

It is available for the same starting price of just $1,299, and $1,199 for education.

Internal Apple rumor is that at least 2 leading engineers left project due to horrible throttling as top managers decided to not include any fans.

The MacBook Air is Apple's most popular Mac and the world's best-selling 13-inch notebook. Its powerful 8-core CPU performs up to 3.5x faster than the previous generation.

• With up to an 8-core GPU, graphics are up to 5x faster, the biggest leap ever for MacBook Air. ML workloads are up to 9x faster, so apps that use ML-based features like face recognition or object detection can do so in a fraction of the time.
• The M1 chip's storage controller and latest flash technology deliver up to 2x faster SSD performance, so previewing massive images or importing large files is faster than ever.
• MacBook Air also delivers this performance in a fanless design, which means no matter what users are doing, it remains completely silent.
• And the new MacBook Air features extraordinary battery life, with up to 15 hours of wireless web browsing and up to 18 hours of video playback --- the longest battery life ever on a MacBook Air.

The new MacBook Air is priced at $999, and $899 for education.
