alt Hacker NewsYeah; but the ones that don’t care about the details often ask someone “which one should I buy?”
Currently, for MacBooks, the answer is “the small one doesn’t have a fan, so for sustained work like games or iMovie it is slower. However, it is smaller, lighter, quieter and cheaper”.
I really do not see how that advice would change with an 18A chip in the lineup.
Are their egos supposed to feel the performance hit? Is there some cabal of Taiwanese extremists propping up the Mac market?
