It kinda sucks that 8-core cpu and 14-core gpu is starting and that is for $1999 😭
I wish they provided 10-core cpu at that price

But all the ports are back and mag-safe is here also 😁, anyone hovering cursor over the order button ?
It’s so tempting but i will wait for the reviews

Lol, spent about that for overclocked i9 8 core and rtx 2080

It is $1400 for a i7 11th gen 8core/16 thread 3060 lappy. Not sure how it compares, but desktop seems way overpriced now.

@Demolishun my tower was when rtx was first released, has probably come down a bit.

Macs in general are overpriced af.

Med to high end, towers are almost certainly cheaper. Mobile GPUs are lower spec, towers you don't need a lot of the extra stuff. If you're buying from a major retailer, you're wasting your money. Get something custom from a smaller outfit, save a lot of money.

@atheist it will be interesting if someone compares it with i9 , I think next week my YouTube feed will be flooded with the videos about these MacBooks

@hardfault the comparison is going to be "we've bought a toaster that was really expensive, so we have to say it's really good no matter what"

@atheist

Did you say you wanted toast?!

This is how I view Macs:

@Demolishun so what is it?

If that's a bit esoteric, the clip is from the episode "white hole", and my quote is a line from cat.

I'm not saying I'm a red dwarf nerd, but I've also got 8 seasons on dvd.

I think queeg is probably my favourite TV moment of all time, but you've got to watch the whole episode to get it.

@atheist Thanks for explaining. I almost missed the line. I love that show. But I was too cheap to get the DVDs.

Fish!

@Demolishun today's fish is trout â la crème. Enjoy your meal!

since when are GPUs being measured in cores?

@iiii since always nvidia used to measure in cuda cores

@hardfault except measuring in cuda cores cannot be compared to any other type of GPU, that is not based on cuda cores, so it's a pointless measurement

@iiii your objection was measuring gpu in core

My answer to that was even Nvidia measure gpu in cores

This measure is not done to compare the gpu between vendors its the sales jargon that companies use for comparing gpu in their own product line and it’s like that since beginning of gpus

I am not comparing cuda core with apple GPU cores.
