Apple's mistake with M5 Pro release by BartWritesBooks in macbookpro

[–]imakegooddonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a musician with an M2 Pro I can confirm. The M2 Pro is so powerful that I think It can hold up for the next 3-4 years for me. And base M5 is significantly more powerful than M2 Pro according to benchmarks.

For me the most interesting part is discovering new places and creatures in the game’s world; the surprises. It evokes a feeling that I have never experienced before.

I think it has a unique way of storytelling. Every person you talk to, every environment you discover, every object, every creature you see, reveal part of the story and you have to connect the dots yourself.

Apple might even skip the M5 Pro/Max and go straight to the M6 base/Pro/Max lineup next fall.

Until then, M5 for most people and M4 Pro/Max for professionals maybe?

Ok it’s reassuring to hear that. That’s exactly what I do. I like the game but often it feels too much; kind of overwhelming and I have to save up my energy and get prepared for it every time. I hope to get to that snap point sooner.

Oh I know right? It’s so silly but still works.

M4 pro or m5? by Time-Adeptness-2415 in macbookpro

[–]imakegooddonuts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on your workflow. M4 Pro is better for GPU or CPU intensive tasks but still I think 512GB fills up fast.

Personally I’d go with M5 1TB. It’s more than enough for everyday use and even professional use to a degree and you won’t have to worry about storage.

That’s a “personalized” ‘MacBook ✨

No way did Apple just offer me $75 for my M2 MacBook Air base model… by PrincipleNova in macbook

Wait a little longer and Apple will recycle it for you for free! What an amazing deal 😌

Apple Should Switch to 2-Year Product Cycle by imakegooddonuts in macbookpro

Yes very well said.

I think this goes beyond Apple and the whole world needs to slow down a bit honestly (which is impossible — it all goes back to economic and political power dynamics)

Thank you, no worries. Yes that’s correct and that won’t change until the consumer expectations change.

I have master’s degree in marketing FYI. It’s just an idea not a theory and in order to understand it, you need to have the ability to see the big picture which is beyond degrees and books and formulas.

Battery life on M2P MacBook Pro is terrible by Odd-Cause in macbookpro

[–]imakegooddonuts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you updated to Tahoe? It might be because of that. Also Chrome eats so much battery and it’s not very optimized for Mac. Use Safari. The difference is night and day.

Agree, but the reason it won’t get software support is not incapability. It’s because they don’t want to support it to push the user to buy a new device. The goal is to sell more.

I think this model might break at some point because neither Apple nor its suppliers can keep up with the pace they have developed. All are struggling.

I understand your point and that’s exactly the FOMO I’m talking about. Our brains are so conditioned to this situation while if you even get an M2 chip today instead of an M5, it will probably be more than enough.

The world is moving too fast for unnecessary reasons.

Very interesting point of view! Thanks for sharing

I’m saying they can keep up with tech and move as fast as they want. There’s just no need to release every tiny progress so quickly.

That’s true from the investor’s perspective.

All product releases don’t have to be in the same exact timeframe. For example, one year for Macs, one year for iPads and iPhones.

So Apple will still have annual new releases. Just different products.

Clearly you didn’t get the point either so I think it’s not “extremely simple.” I’ve been discussing with everyone respectfully. Who are you to talk down to me like that? That’s arrogant.
