Absolutely agree than phone socs can drive a viable experience, but it's just still pricier even using iPad Air as a comparison. permalink fedilink source parent [–] otacon239@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago* I’ve been running an M1 for years now. So tired of the argument that Mac is underpowered. No, it’s not a video editing/compiling/gaming powerhouse, but it more than makes up for it with an 8+ hour battery life, best-in-class display, and silent running, going on 5 years now. It still handles everything I throw at it just fine. If I need to bust out the compute power, Mac just isn’t the right rig for it. But that doesn’t make them useless. permalink fedilink source parent [–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (4 children) It has comparable performance to laptop CPUs in its price bracket while being significantly more power efficient. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] woelkchen@lemmy.world -13 points 6 months ago (3 children) A18 Pro?
