Apple introduces M4 chip - lemm.ee
I have recently bought older generation 12.9" iPad Pro and an M2 MBP through Backmarket at a fraction of the price. I’m primarily a Linux user but I bought the iPad for the screen and the MBP for music production. Even though they are years old, they still have more processing power than I need.
I just finished the full soundtrack of a theatre play using AsahiLinux on my M2pro mbp. I resorted to macos only to render some heavy video tracks.
