  • iFixit Teardown: M1 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air Internals Nearly Identical to Intel Models

    Verbatim given apologists _hate_ what Apple is, so they deny what Apple
    does (which helps them to maintain intact their imaginary belief system).

    Dateline today: iFixit Teardown:
    o M1 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air Internals Nearly Identical to Intel Models <https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/19/ifixit-teardown-m1-macs/>

    "Aside from a new logic board and cooler, the inside of the ‌MacBook Air‌
    is identical to its predecessor"

    "As for the MacBook Pro, it's so similar to the prior model that iFixit
    had to double check to make sure an old MacBook Pro hadn't been
    accidentally purchased."

    "iFixit says the integrated memory is 'slightly devastating' because
    it makes repairs on the M1 Macs much harder"

    Apple has the lowest R&D percentage spend in the entire high tech industry. (Worse, Apple's total spend is far lower than smaller high-tech companies.)

    What did you expect to be different, "Arlen"?

    Fact:

    The M1 outperforms the old machine... ...by a loto.

    Yep. The M1 chip is around three times faster than the Intel chip, and
    the M1 SSD access is around twice as fast as the Intel Mac.

    BUT impatient morons will still start whining that it's "slow" in three
    years time when even faster models are newly launched. :-\
