Some “bootlegs” are licensed and sold in Amazon. Note the manufacturer.

“Bootleg”

I guess you do understand what the M chip is, which makes your comparison even more surprising. First, comparing a SoC to a GPU is wildly unfair. Second, you are severely underselling exactly how much more energy efficient an M chip is versus a CPU/GPU combo. My PC laptop with an i7 and a 4070 built in will run for about 20 minutes, maybe 30, under a full workload, all the while being hot enough to fry an egg and noisier than a jet engine. Even then, the performance will be trash and get worse as the temps rise. My MBP M3 Max will run a DAW sessions my PC could never dream of, with multiple plugins, on battery, silent, no heat, for a couple of hours without even the hint of a stutter.

All of that said, when it comes to price, Apple’s gonna Apple.

PS: I’m typing this on my phone while the idle i7/4070 laptop is fanning (again, fully idle) because it runs so hot. I might need to start traveling for work again and, if I do, I might need to switch to a MacBook Air for work on the road unless I can find an ultra-slim, powerful yet efficient, high resolution screen, Linux supported laptop. Simply because of the chip. We need an equivalent on the PC side.

I don’t think you quite grasp what an M chip is if you are comparing it to a 4070 Ti.

I believe in using the best tool for the job. For that reason, I use Macs for all my music stuff, Windows if I have to, and Linux for everything else.

Most current gen phones have stabilized zoom that negates the 25 foot buffer. Pinch zoom and record that shit.

Apple’s M chips are amazing. If only there was full Linux support for Apple hardware.

My wife used to be a green card holder it was made clear to her when she got it that she needed to always carry it. Not defending the gestapo’s actions, but the dude should not have left the card at home.

I have no idea why this guy felt threatened. None at all.

So obvious

It’s slightly more awkward when having dinner with your romantic interest’s family as if you both didn’t just finish fucking five minutes ago.

Great shape for soup, scooping out ice cream, sliding your foot into a tight shoe, eating oatmeal and eating cereal.

Miller’s tweet was on the 4th. The fire was on the 5th.

The immediate consequence.
