Is this an actual picture or some serious photoshop skills ? It looks too clean and well balanced to be true.
What camera do you use ?

Here’s the undoctored shot. Only color correction and some vignetting applied.

P.S. Cam is Samsung Galaxy Note 11+, ultrawide.

AppleCare+ :ok_hand:

They are great about replacing things / resolving issues

Wouldn’t call them insane, but they are quite good. But repairability with apple is shit, so yeah, not a fan. :smiley:

Around that yeah, I went with 512GB model but upgraded it to M1 Max + 32GB mem

so hyped, my current 2018 MBP constantly overheats and runs generally like garbage

No, you can’t say they aren’t crazy. They blow everything else mobile out of the water in pretty much every spec

Intel is going to have a whale of a time trying to catch up, AMD has a chance, but that’s all

I am not going to buy Apple because of their price but you gotta respect the advancement

Yeah, mobile. ^^ Also, I reckon if that thing spools up to full turbo its not gonna draw significant less that desktop chips. Are there any numbers regarding that out there?

I mean besides their graphs there isn’t much else, but this time they quoted the exact windows laptops they compared against

They’re showing pretty large efficiency gains, if I recall the Max tops out at like 50w or something. It’s able to be so much more efficient since it’s one SOC

Anyways, will be cool to see it get tested and see some real numbers

There’s a lot of Apple haters here :sweat_smile:

@worldismine772 solid laptop :ok_hand:t3:

I’ll always run windows for my Gaming PC, but Apple wins with laptops. #sorrynotsorry

Before this new Macbook pro, the XPS15 2020 was the best overall laptop imo

I have a lot of respect for the engineers who work at apple, but thats about it.

Congrats on the new purchase! You’re gonna love it! What are the specs on your 2018 MBP? My 2017 MBP runs like trash sometimes, but maybe because it’s just an underpowered base model. IDK.

Yup, it’s great. They replaced my screen because I had some dead pixels and another time they replaced my keyboard and battery (out of warranty but still free!). Both times shipped it out one day and got it back the next. Cali to Texas and back. It’s awesome!
