        look at it the other way, they did not "add" a notch, they just fill up the gap that used to be a black thick bar. I understand the norch is sth to get used to, especially for OCD (i am one)

        No, not always. Previously they have also given away Beats headphones.

        They will probably only give away the cheaper AirPods 2. Make you pay to upgrade to the AirPods 3, or the AirPods Pro.

    If storage and memory was manufactured by them as well, I'm pretty sure price would be lower too. Amazing what Apple has done with their new SOC.

    Anyways this new enclosure and with the added ports just brings me back to the time of 2009 or even before that haha the fatter base.

    • TheContact on 19/10/2021 - 09:04

      They don't manufacture the SoC, they design it, with currently TSMC doing the actual manufacturing. I wouldn't think the margins are there for doing the same with storage and memory.

      How much did you paid for that?

      • hotdogwater22 on 19/10/2021 - 09:05

        I got the top-spec model config which contains an Intel i9 11980HK, 64gb ram, 2tb nvme SSD and an RTX 3060 for $3500 AUD through a mate of mine.
        It's pretty cheap considering the same model retails for $8600 on Dell's website

        • jace88 on 19/10/2021 - 09:25
          +4

          Look at it this way, it comes down to use case. Whilst I have a foot in both camps (but not boot camp), unless you are doing things on a Mac which benefit from the raw ARM performance, or you're a content creator in the Apple optimised world, chances are you'd probably get more enjoyment out of the XPS anyway for gaming and Windows applications in general. If you were just looking for casual everyday use (ie nothing which really needs high performance CPU or GPU), then you could've bought a much cheaper laptop which would've been more suitable (and probably have better battery life).

          Whilst I like to think I'm a professional user, the reality is my needs are much more casual since it's mainly web browsing, iMessage, light gaming (I still play CSGO for example), etc… and I value portability and battery life, and connectivity with my Airpods Pro. Therefore the M1 (non Pro/Max) actually makes the most sense for me and I use a 13" MBP M1 which has great battery life. My Razer Blade with a 2070MQ is great if I do want to play games on the go but the short battery life and weight of the laptop (and power pack) means I don't tend to bother with it too often nowadays except to move around the house whihc is a bit moot since I have a decent desktop.

      • hotdogwater22 on 19/10/2021 - 09:05

        Are you having heating issues with yours? Mine is the 9710 with the vapourchamber cooling and it even struggles with the i9 on basic tasks.

        • AusGeno on 19/10/2021 - 09:08

          Yep the fans crank up during basic tasks pretty often.

          • hotdogwater22 on 19/10/2021 - 09:10

            @AusGeno: It is ridiculous but the display on both laptops is amazing (assuming you have the 4k panel). Might be worthwhile selling your laptop off and picking up one of these if you can

              @hotdogwater22: I do have the 4k, you're right it's a gorgeous screen but I don't need it to be a touch-screen, I never touch it and when I accidentally do it just leaves fingerprints.

        • trawg on 19/10/2021 - 09:25

          Just make sure it shuts down properly before you put it in a bag. I have an older version and the current series of Dells and Windows have removed S3 sleep and replaced it with "hybrid sleep" or whatever it's called and it's flaky as shit. Couple times I've closed the laptop assuming it was in sleep and popped it in my bag, only to feel it burning through the bag 20 minutes later as it was overheating.

          They even have this FAQ which specifically states they should not be put in a bag when on standby: https://www.dell.com/community/XPS/FAQ-Modern-Standby/td-p/7…

  • edisonAU on 19/10/2021 - 09:14

    I have an existing 2014 MBP and love this new MBP as it has Magsafe + SD card etc. However I am looking at same casual gaming, and most games are Windows based. I am also interested in XBox xCloud gaming as I was involved in Beta release.

    I assume that even with the new specs for this MBP, I would not be able to dual boot to Windows, and play games, right? I love the MBP build quality but I am seriously getting a Windows based laptop.

    • jace88 on 19/10/2021 - 09:27

      No dual boot, and even Parallels for Windows on Arm is not guaranteed. Unless you're happy with Apple Arcade and the few Steam/Origin games which run on Mac, I'd probably stick to a Windows based laptop then.

      The question is how many of those casual games are Windows only, or do they have Mac versions (eg CSGO, Borderlands, etc) which will run through Rosetta if they aren't already optimised for ARM.

      • edisonAU on 19/10/2021 - 09:31
        +1

        Bummer. What would be the equivalent Windows laptop that would have similar form factor + build quality + display quality as the new MBP? I have access to Education pricing if this helps (I do work in the education sector). Admittedly I always find the poor build quality of Windows laptops annoying.

        I haven't looked at Apple Arcade yet but will investigate.

          Could always go Razer if you want something as similar to Apple in terms of build/aesthetic/price. That being said, they have a less than stellar record when it comes to post-sales support so when I bought mine, I deliberately bought it from JB Hifi so I could also get extended warranty too from them and not have to risk dealing with Razer should it break.

    and just some fun calculations…the 16in with M1 max ($5,249) is $4,600 with unidays, then pay with 15% off gift cards (from woolies/coles), so you get the top of the range 16in MacBook for about $3,900
