"8GB base model in 2023 for normal browsing with Firefox is completely enough" - random youtuber
The only way to put a shame on Apple is the Laptop OEM manufacturers ship their entry level laptop and mini desktop computer equipped with Snapdragon Elite X chip with baseline 16GB, and $50 to upgrade to 32GB, same with SSD.
If they really want to retain and re-capture the market share from Dracula Tim Cook. I am curious if a class-action suit can be brought against Apple in the memory and SSD pricing debacles.
This is why competition is always a must, when Apple released the M1 series, the entire tech industry basically shitting on Intel, and spell the death of x86. Make no mistake, Arm-based chips are leading years ahead for efficiency and performance per watt. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Elite X and Microsoft already signed the exclusive deal to sell Arm-based laptop running Windows, coming in 2024. Nvidia and AMD also announced Arm-based PC chips to market in 2025.
On the GPU front, Nvidia basically abandoned the former customers (gamers) that put the company into a trillion dollar company, Jensen Huang now focus on server and AI chip market now that selling 1000x times the MSRP a piece. Just look at the RTX 4000 series pricing and the VRAM for entry and mid-tier cards. Intel Arc and AMD Radeon are decades behind Nvidia in terms of software API, the CUDA ecosystem is the one that allowed Nvidia to basically monopolize the AI field and its customers.
Considering Apple updated the 14" & 16" MacBook Pro to M2 chips the same time as Mac Mini back in Jan 2023, and many believed that it was delayed due to supply chain and production issues, supposedly the release schedule was Oct-Nov 2022 in previous year.
Now that MacBook Pros get the M3, M3 Pro, M3 Max, why didn’t the Mac Mini get the refreshed as well ?
Will Apple just simply make the Mac Mini the drag queen that stretched 3-4 years refresh cycle ?
It seems Apple removed the “Scary Fast” theme from the upcoming event page - www.apple.com/apple-events/
I don’t see the “Scary Fast” wording anymore, what gives ?
This is a great opportunity to identify the group of people and organization that advocate for the government to scan your private data, a violation to your privacy and rights.
It is very obvious they have very limited wisdom or are acting solely to serve a certain party interest i.e, the authority that wants your data without any hassle.
Another possibility is they are a complete retarded.
