@markgurman If they added GPU support and expandable RAM they win. But they screwed the pooch.

NEW: Apple has discontinued the Mac Pro and has removed it from its website. They had been planning to do so for a while now.

Nobody told me about the SSD speeds on the M5 Pro wtf?? This is nearing DDR4 RAM speeds.

Happy Birthday bill !

@HustleBitch_ To be fair my HP ink cartridges last usually 18 months

🚨 PRINTER INK COSTS $32,000 A GALLON — AND PEOPLE ARE REALIZING THEY’VE BEEN GETTING RIPPED OFF "This should be illegal." A man at Target picks up a single black ink cartridge. Price? $63. Then he checks how much is actually inside. About half an ounce. Do the math. That puts this stuff at $30,000+ per gallon. More than a used mobile home. For printer ink. And here’s the part that has people pissed: You don’t get a choice. The printer is built to force you into their system. Cheaper ink? Blocked. Refill it yourself? Disabled. Wrong cartridge? Printer won’t even work. So you buy the printer… and then you’re stuck paying whatever they decide to charge. Over. And over. And over again. A locked system where the product is cheap and the refill is where they get you. If something costs more than gold and you’re forced to buy it… how is that not a scam?

@alt_w_v_g Crazy long post.

The dishwasher broke My wife said "good thing we have the home warranty" I said nothing I've been paying $62 a month for three years for this moment $2,232 for the peace of mind that when something breaks someone will come to the house and tell me it's not covered I called 47 minutes on hold They sent a technician Arrival window: Tuesday through Thursday between 8am and 5pm My analyst delivers faster than that And he still hasn't fixed the gridlines He showed up Wednesday at 4:47pm Looked at the dishwasher Opened the door Closed the door Touched something underneath Said "not covered" 90 seconds That's faster than my bank lets me prove I'm human I said "what's covered" He said "the motor" I said "what's wrong with it" He said "not the motor" I said "convenient" He said the service fee is $75 I paid a man $75 to open my dishwasher, close my dishwasher, and say two words My analyst could do that And he's not even that good I called the warranty company back 38 minutes on hold Requested the policy 129 pages I read all 129 pages Because that's what I do The coverage section is 34 pages The exclusions section is 58 The business model is right there In the margins Where nobody reads Except me Page 91 says "all mechanical and electrical components essential to appliance function are covered under standard service" Page 104 excludes control panels A control panel is an electrical component essential to appliance function Their own document contradicts itself 13 pages apart I highlighted both Sent them an email Subject line: "Plz fix. Thx." Attached both pages No other context Took them three days to send a technician Took them 4 hours to call me back when I found the loophole Funny how that works They covered the repair Waived the $75 And I canceled the warranty anyway Because a contract that contradicts itself isn't a contract It's a suggestion My wife said "so we're canceling" I said "we're canceling" She said "and the dishwasher" I said "fixed. They're covering it." She said "how" I said "I read the policy" She said "all 129 pages" I said "the exclusions section starts on page 47. The coverage section ends on page 34. There are 13 pages between them where they hoped nobody would look." She looked at me Then she said "you're unbelievable" I said "I just saved us $744 a year and got a free dishwasher repair. I'm not unbelievable. I'm thorough." She looked at the ceiling The dishwasher works now The warranty is canceled And the policy has been read By at least one person Probably the first Make common sense common again Plz fix. Thx.

@GregoryMcFadden I can’t tell the difference.

I can notice 120hz on the iPad and iPhone very easily, but on the Mac I don't seem to notice it as much. Am I the only one?

@SnazzyLabs @mweinbach My own writing (not AI) gets flagged by AI detectors. Confirmed. They are horrible

@mweinbach Yep. All these AI detection tools are BS anyways.

I can’t tell if this is AI generated, Apple’s writing style is just like that. This has been their style forever, models get trained on it. It is VERY specific, once you learn how to read it you can sense it from a mile away This reads like Apple

@Tech_girlll I’ve seen people do development on chromebooks. This is fine

DO NOT BUY A MACBOOK NEO FOR DEVELOPMENT DO NOT BUY A MACBOOK NEO FOR DEVELOPMENT DO NOT BUY A MACBOOK NEO FOR DEVELOPMENT DO NOT BUY A MACBOOK NEO FOR DEVELOPMENT DO NOT BUY A MACBOOK NEO FOR DEVELOPMENT

@LuftkoppTim My M3 Pro doesn't even get numbers like that.

even the base model MacBook Air with 512GB has an SSD twice as fast

Never in my entire career did I think I'd be helping customers get up and running on a disaster recovery site because the primary site was hit by a bloody missle.

@markgurman I think these will rock the education market.

The MacBook Neo is kind of like the iPhone mini. The same folks praising it all over social media are the ones who would never trade in their Pro for it. It’s clearly the best $600 laptop on the market - but few are going to switch away from the high-end. It’s about new buyers.

@big_yemm Are you mad ?

Can we admit that these buttons are useless on calculators ?

@MAGAmex @FatherChrisVor1 I suspect he is the Highlander

@FatherChrisVor1 Horse riding at 94? Sounds like he didn’t mind dying. I wouldn’t want to live that long

Beloved actor William Shatner, 94, is reportedly heading into surgery after shattering his shoulder in a horse-riding accident. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and wish him strength and a full recovery.

@LavaVex @LukeMiani What happens if we use a USB hub on this port ?

everyone roasting the port setup but not talking about the hardware restrictions that require that... the A18 Pro chip has a SINGLE USB 3.1 Bus... if they did dual 3.1 ports and you had a display on one and an external ssd on the other, it would likely overload the bus and crash the system...

When you plug a drive into the USB 2.0 port on MacBook Neo macOS warns you that you’ve entered 2008

@LukeMiani How much did they actually save with a USB 2.0 port ?

@mrcanute1 @MKBHD Entirely different OS than the iPhone.

@MKBHD “thrown everything at it” is crazy when it’s basically an iphone with a keyboard... just say you’re browsing safari marques

Testing the Macbook Neo these past couple days has been incredibly impressive, I've thrown everything at it to try to get an idea of what its ceiling actually is. Finishing the full review video now, to upload shortly...

@TechnicallyTee I live outside the USA for almost half the year. I’d like to know.

I wish I would stop hearing reviewers compare devices that’s overseas that the everyday person isn’t going to buy. Those companies makes fantastic devices but is my friend, Aunt, cousin, mom or dad going to the carrier store and buying one?

@OneShadowCaster @LeakerApple Not sure why that would bother anyone. But it is an interesting perspective.

@LeakerApple it's so stupid to have a computer in a display. I want my display to be dumb. Thanks.

Can someone explain why the Studio Displays need so much power? Is it so the connected mac doesn't have to use its CPU to drive the massive 5K displays or something?

@thecsguy @LeakerApple That was the old monitor. Now we have a shiny new A19. Gloriously overkill.

@LeakerApple it has an a13 bionic inside just to handle center stage and spatial audio. your monitor literally has more compute than the laptops we were using to ship production code five years ago
