    I'm going in guys. Let's do this!
    I'm getting the base 16" model though. Fuck you rich kids.

    Apparently, the biggest Apple news yesterday was not announced during the event. Apple quietly made this available online inthe store:

    and only for $20

    Go get it while the supply lasts

  • aliastime0

    I'm sure these new MBPs are beasts, and I just spent $3,500 on one... but the new casing looks so utilitarian compared to the older tapered design.

    I really need a new iMac hopefully pro 27” versions with m1max come out soon

    • I can’t wait that long. Probably going for the new mbp and monitorGnash
    • The iMacs usually have better specs than the MBS, for cheaper, and with the big screens, though ...monospaced
    • If you have a second screen already the mbp is a great option and with these latest specs it’s just bonkers_niko
    • true, it is a beast of a machine, and that's what really matters ... now just put those guts in the fucking mini FFSmonospaced
  • drgs-1

    I feel like the screen notch negates the sum of all improvements they made

    • Lazy. The designers are forced to capitulate to the engineers. Figure it out you useless pieces of shit, Samsung has lol_niko
  • drgs4

    Does it even have to be that big?

    • no...cam and led fit in the bezel. it's branding / preparing for future updates. they can pack a lot of tech in that space. +the products get apple's 'red ring'uan
    • Seriously wtf, all that for a small light and camera? Slide it up a bit, there’s room_niko
    • Maybe there are other sensors too, like light sensors, mics?monospaced

    • “Branding purposes.” Lol. Yeah let’s do something ugly just to be different from the competition. So Apple design philosophy.NBQ00

    Mac mini Pro now. Put all that power in the little box, please. Thank you.

    • Didn’t they announce the Mac mini pro? Or was that fake?_niko
    • No, the mini is the one from 2020 with the original M1 chip in it. It could easily house the same guts as the MBPs announced yesterday.monospaced
    • Not sure why anyone would downvote this. It's quite possibly the ideal machine for most of us who don't need a laptop.monospaced
    • No.

      Even if the price is good, you still need a fucking display for it so better get iMac or MB Pro duh
      grafician
    • Huh?monospaced
    • No. If you have a display already it’s not better. The whole point is that it isn’t connected permanently to a display. That’s a good thing.monospaced
    • No, why would you need one when both an iMac and a MBP have better specs and monitors included!grafician
    • Weird questions. It would have the same specs as the MBPs, and it's not an all-in-one. This is ideal for many creatives. That was already explained and obvious.monospaced
  • _niko16

    What are you guys on about? I don’t notice the notch

  • oey_oey1

    I still would buy a MacMini pre M1 but they cost like 800€ around here..fucking hell.

    Not interested in a super Laptop for now.
    But a MacMini Pro...hell yeah!

    • The current mini with the M1 is no slouch.monospaced
    • It could be a little bigger than the mini and Apple could call it ... wait for it ... the "Macintosh."monospaced
    • Not a truncated puck computer, not a laptop, not an all-in-one, not a ridiculous $10k super computer, just a fucking Macmonospaced

    • Adobe no doubt adjusting their software to this. I expect no less than 15 updates the next month.monospaced
    • what a waste of time and resources. all for a feature that is there and annoying 100% of the time for a camera that is used .01% of the time._niko
    • I'm curious what happens when the software isn't updated in time since these MBP's ship very soon.NBQ00
    • I interpreted her posts as saying that macOS automatically adjusts the menu system mostly.monospaced

    OS X Monterey will have a Notch Auto-Hide if enabled in Preferences like the Dock.

    Waiting for that 27” iMac m1x pro to drop. Just think how big the fuckin notch will be

    • it will just be a bigger version of the current iMacs but maybe with space grey option.NBQ00
    • ^ and a notch :Dkingsteven

    Am I going mad?
    Why is the new M1 16" I want $2,699 on the American site yet the UK site has it at $3,590! Is it a tax thing not included yet on the US one?

    • brexit innithans_glib
    • Try buying one in Brazil :)NBQ00
    • there's no sales tax on the US models but I believe thats 6-8% added on checkout? maybe someone can confirm.kingsteven
    • in the UK they add 20% vat to everything, but the difference on a $400 and a £400 upgrade is 38% (see my post a couple days ago) so yeah it's fuckedkingsteven
    • Sounds like a weekend trip to NY is on the cards.Nairn
    • ^ And then the different cables/plugs set you back 700$ :)Longcopylover
    • USA we add about 8-9% tax at purchase.monospaced
    • I used to buy all my macs in duty-free dixons, don't know if that's still a thing. cheapest one way ticket, then back through the gate with 20% offkingsteven

    Once more, this whole M1X (Max) is like a cpu revolution. I've never seen such significant jumps in this field like what Apple is doing in the past years with their Silicon.

    This new M1X Max MBP has like 100x-1000x more power than the $200K-500K priced SGI machines from the mid 90's.

    I would love to see some Houdini Smoke & Fluid simulations tests on these new MBP's.

    • you missed the amiga chipset architecture in the 80's?
      kids suddenly had cray render power in their bedrooms.

    • I'm a 90's kid, I grew up with SGI's ;)NBQ00
    • but you did,
      when intel pentium arrived.
      sted
    • I miss the 90snb
    • It’s crazy how it outperforms their top Mac Pro with the afterburner card. And in a tiny efficient package. Could easily fit it into a Mac mini size enclosure.monospaced
    • They should just take the Mac Pro off the site until the updated M2 version is out. Who would pay $20K-$50K when you can just buy a $4K MBP?NBQ00
    • Exactly. Or just make a Mac Pro that is this but without the laptop or iMac form factor. Would so slick.monospaced
    • You are comparing this to a SGI workstation, that's retarded.

    Huh. I guess Innovation didn’t sleep!

  • craigatkinson-1

    new MBP, 32core 64GB 2TB — there's only £75 difference between 14" & 16". on student pricing.

    That's £37.50 per inch

    I know people who charge more than that

    • is this Unidays? still waiting for them to appear on the HE supplier page.kingsteven
    • unidays, pre VAT. So unless 14" is a must, 16 is a no brainercraigatkinson
    • lolsted
    • apparently both 14" and 16" models can hold the same top specs, you just pick the size you wantgrafician
    • Exactly the reason I think it would work great in an enclosure like the mini. :)monospaced
    • found one thing: 16" requires magsafe fast-charge... 14" can charge off USBC (although i'm not sure there's any monitors that support high-power USB yet)kingsteven
    • I charge using my Dell thru USB C, no need for Mac chargergrafician
    • they will both charge but 16" will not fast-charge over USB (USB-C maxes out at 96W), neither will fast-charge from current Dell monitors as they provide 60Wkingsteven
