Windrider
16:11:45
Bear in mind that's April 30 in Oz, a day earlier than in the USA.
Majikman

Windrider
16:14:37
The word "burglarise" is unnecessary. Just use "burgle."
muller
16:15:35
windrider its a English word
Windrider
16:15:59
Muller, so is burgle.
Majikman
16:16:27
Very slick presentation

Who knew that the M1 Mac Mini can now be had with 10 Gigabit Ethernet since the Spring Extravaganza? Previously, only the Intel Mac Mini had 10 Gigabit ethernet.
Majikman

Apple will sell the batties in packs of 4 for £29.99
muller
16:31:29
majikman amazon less than a tenner
Majikman
16:32:09
iMac v Mac Mini, spec for spec your paying £600 for the dispaly
Windrider
16:32:10
Apple likes to define Retina as at least 218 ppi, that's why they had to go with 4.5k with the 24-inch. the 21.5in was 4.1k.
Windrider
16:32:51
I'd have liked to see USB ports on the side as well.
Windrider
16:34:08
Majikman, you can't get 10 Gigabit ethernet with the M1 iMac, it's now optional on the Mini.
Windrider
16:34:31
^ speakers, actually
Windrider
16:34:39
6 speakers
Majikman
16:35:28
Its in the power brick if you go for the mid/top spec imac
Windrider
16:36:11
Majikman, iMac is only Gigabit ethernet, not 10 Gigabit.
Majikman
16:36:58
Or use the Sharpie again Jeff
Windrider
16:37:07
Patrice, at least you do get colour-coded Apple stickers with it...
Majikman
16:37:40
And coloured magic mouse, YES!!!
Majikman
16:39:57
Dissapointed no 27” model
Windrider
16:41:08
When the iMac Pro was released, the grey keyboard was not offered separately. It became available later.
Windrider
16:41:26
Consumer-oriented model, Majikman
Windrider
16:42:54
Unlikely to ever get M-series Macs with lower-specified SoCs.
Majikman
16:43:01
So I might look at specced up Mac Mini and seperate large monitor.
Windrider
16:43:33
I certainly don't need a Pro-level iMac.
Windrider
16:45:27
Majikman, you'll need a keyboard, mouse & 1080p webcam as well with a Mini...
Majikman
16:45:47
Got all that already Windrider
Majikman
16:46:31
I also have a number of external storgae
Majikman
16:47:14
Mac Mini with 16Gb Ram and 1Tb storage £1299
Majikman
16:48:10
And with sidecar I could use my 15” MBP as second screen.
muller

Majikman
16:50:01
On the upgrade timeline, when do you think the ‘Pro’ level iMacs would come out, Q1 or Q2 2022?

This YouTube video compares various M1 & Intel Macs under very heavy video rendering. Consenus is don't get 8 GB Unified Memory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thaon3b6yEs M1 Vs INTEL MAC: Video Render SHOWDOWN
muller
16:54:17
Apple should go RGB
Windrider
16:54:35
Sharpie time for black bezels???
Windrider
16:56:59
Majikman, I'm pretty sure Sidecar only allows iPads to be used as extra screens.
Majikman
16:57:03
Coould be Mac Pro
Majikman
16:58:09
You could be right windrider but then it could also come under screen share
Majikman
16:59:07
Famous “can’t inovate my arse” was at WWDC
Windrider
16:59:16
Majikman, good idea with the screenshare, I'd consider networking them via Ethernet instead of wifi.

The M1 iPad Pro is Not Getting macOS, Says Greg Joswiak. https://www.macobserver.com/news/m1-ipad-pro-no-macos/
ChuckJ
17:01:05
But can run LumaFusion!
Majikman
17:02:38
Not a patch on FCP Chuck
Windrider
17:03:14
Greg Joswiak says that the power has to come first to give developers the room they need to build more capable apps that can take advantage of that power.
Majikman
17:04:34
If the Ipadpro could run a version of FCP then it throws my purchase plan up in the air again.
Windrider
17:06:58
OK, how about a hybrid: Works as a Mac when attached to a keyboard & an iPad Pro when disconnected from the keyboard?
Majikman
17:10:15
I’ll try a copy Chuck
ChuckJ
17:10:41
Let me know what you think, Majikman. I think you will be pleased.
Majikman
17:11:08
I have done a couple for dirty cuts on an ipad with iMovie
Majikman
17:12:01
Is lumafusion on SettApp?
ChuckJ
17:12:27
No...and iOS app in the App Store
Majikman
17:12:52
OK
Windrider
17:12:53
Luke Miani on YouTube says he's happy enough with his 2018 11-inch iPad Pro. Reckons you don't need anything more powerful...

It all depends on what your use case is. If just consumption, sure. If you want to up the game, consider the upgrade.
Majikman
17:17:24
Top spec iPad Pro plus Magic Keyboard and main monitor just £3k

Windrider
