Buying a Mac computer: why you should think twice right now
What you need to know about the Mac's transition from Intel to Apple silicon processors.
What you need to know about the Mac's transition from Intel to Apple silicon processors.
I've used Apple machines (and laptops) commercially in design for over 30 years. My last experience was the dreaded 2011 Macbook Pro overheating GPU chip which Apple first refused to recognize and then funded a repair which didn't last. That episode aside, I still prefer to buy Apple machines and their adoption of 3rd party Intel chips made me wonder if they had lost either the expertise or drive to better them. Certainly Apples' laptop and desktop market has fallen into a niche category compared to their OS devices.
This news gives me some confidence in Apple's direction which I had questioned with the loss of Steve Jobs and his inspiration and management. Thank you for this article, it is becoming a minor market, even though Apple's hardware is a major component of my design work.
