00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,839
some of you felt that i was being dismissive of apple during our apple

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:11,120
silicon reaction video and i can understand why my skepticism of apple's

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:16,800
vague and optimistic performance claims didn't exactly scream enthusiastic

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,560
but make no mistake now that it's in my hands i am

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:25,439
super enthusiastic and the mac mini represents not just the least expensive

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:30,400
way to bring an apple silicon m1 soc into your life but also the most

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:34,559
performant thanks to its form factor and its cooling so let's take the apple

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:39,280
silicon m1 or as i like to call it the sm1 for a cruise and see if it's

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,079
seaworthy today's video is brought to you by ridge wallet ridge wallet wants to redefine

10
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:47,840
the wallet with its compact frame and rfid blocking plates check out how they

11
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:53,879
can keep your wallet bulge down and use offer code Linus to get 10 off and free

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,879
worldwide shipping

13
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:06,000
apple's not known for reinventing the wheel often and in the mac mini's case

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,320
the wheel is very much the same as it's always been

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,159
square at least on the outside there is one

16
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,000
telltale feature that lets you know that you're looking at an m1 equipped mini

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:21,280
and that's the fact that there are only two type c ports on the rear which are

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,880
capable of Thunderbolt 3 or because

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:29,119
Thunderbolt is actually an Intel trademark more accurately usb 4. so the

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,159
functionality is all the same mostly

21
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:37,360
but it's got a different name now that Intel released the spec to the usb if

22
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:42,320
that's totally not confusing at all thanks Intel whatever we call them both

23
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Thunderbolt and usb type-c hubs worked just fine on the new ports including

24
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:52,079
devices like 10 gigabit network adapters and display hubs although the latter has

25
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:57,520
a limitation where you can only expand past two displays via display link

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:02,560
adapters which are basically software driven displays running over usb with

27
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,079
performance that's exactly as good as software driven sounds

28
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:11,280
now if you were hoping to run an external GPU to fix that

29
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:15,440
no luck we hooked up a razer core x just to see but it wouldn't detect the GPU

30
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:20,879
inside and Anthony thinks this is probably to do with differences in how

31
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,720
x86 and ARM address displays so it's

32
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:28,480
possible that this will change in the future with either mac optimized gpus or

33
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:35,120
some tweaks to next generation m-series socs but for now nada so that's bad news

34
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:39,519
for battle station enthusiasts who love walls of monitors but the silver lining

35
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,160
is that at least it's possible to go beyond two displays even if it will take

36
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:46,400
up more of your precious usb ports to do so

37
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:50,720
there are some other workarounds for multiple monitor setups of course like

38
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:55,519
running with an ipad in sidecar mode or by using airplay and a displayport

39
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:59,440
multi-stream transport hub may also work but those haven't been relevant for a

40
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,400
long time and we didn't have one on hand to test with

41
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:06,879
this lack of external expansion presumably because of the limited i on

42
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:11,680
the m1 soc probably won't be a big deal for most people but because only one of

43
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,760
the usb4 ports can be used for displayport at a time and you're stuck

44
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,840
with gigabit Ethernet out of the box until the rumored 10 gig versions show

45
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,440
up it's pretty easy to see how a power user could overload it if you want two

46
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:28,319
displays a connection to a high-speed network storage device a card reader and

47
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,959
a usb keyboard or something you've exhausted your expansion options unless

48
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:37,760
you resort to hubs thankfully the mac mini does have bluetooth 5.0 as well as

49
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,200
wi-fi 6 making its wireless connectivity at least as good as wired for the

50
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,480
typical desktop user now i've already taken apart our mac

51
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:48,080
mini on our ShortCircuit unboxing channel but in case you missed it

52
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:52,959
there's no internal expansion either despite the presence of the same access

53
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:58,480
hatch as previous generations and it really is a shame because the pcb and

54
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,720
especially the soc are comically small

55
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:05,519
for the enclosure that they're in and compatibility permitting apple could

56
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:10,000
have easily thrown in a storage bay or made the thing quite a lot smaller

57
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:15,040
without sacrificing any more usability which brings us neatly into what it's

58
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,320
like to use the mac mini fundamentally

59
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,239
nothing has changed over the last generation plug-in power keyboard mouse

60
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,800
monitor press go however there are some things that are

61
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,000
very different one of the big ones is the ability to run not just Intel

62
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,639
applications via rosetta 2 but also ipad

63
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000
and iphone apps installing iOS apps is as simple as firing up the app store

64
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,680
searching for the app you want then choosing iphone and ipad apps on the sub

65
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,880
header iOS apps installed this way just

66
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:48,000
work but there's a big asterisk while you may

67
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:52,880
seemingly get full mouse control over them a resizable window and the ability

68
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,440
for files to import and export to regular folders

69
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,400
using these apps is a little bit cludgy

70
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,440
for now because your mouse is emulating a finger

71
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:08,400
you need to long press to get context menus click and drag isn't quite the

72
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:13,600
same resizing window panes just isn't a thing and gestures are unfortunately

73
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:17,360
awkwardly handled by keystrokes or by pretending the touchpad on a

74
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:20,400
macbook or magic trackpad are touch screens

75
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:25,120
this clunkiness makes lumafusion for example much less intuitive to use than

76
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,280
it appears you want to be able to click and drag stuff around on the timeline

77
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,960
but you have to click and hold none of the tools have tool tips and you can't

78
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:37,440
rearrange the workspace beyond what the app's presets allow

79
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:41,919
to be clear this is certainly way better than not having access to a mobile app

80
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:46,639
that you really like on the desktop but it clearly has a generation or two

81
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,840
to go before it has that characteristic apple polish and anyway why use

82
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:58,080
lumafusion when adobe exists right this is where rosetta 2 comes in and

83
00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:59,919
shockingly it just works a window will

84
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,520
pop up and ask to install rosetta the first time you run an Intel app and

85
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,600
after that it's totally invisible to the user that is assuming that they don't

86
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:12,319
run any comparative benchmarks which is surprisingly easy to do you can choose

87
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,960
to run any universal binary app including even built-in apps like safari

88
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:21,919
by going to get info and then ticking open using rosetta this is a really

89
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:26,400
useful feature not just for performance comparisons but also for testing or

90
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:31,440
accessing features that are only present in the Intel versions of some apps you

91
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:35,199
can also run terminal apps in rosetta by adding this prefix to whatever command

92
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,280
you're trying to run something that you'll have to do for homebrew for now

93
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,039
but macports has a native version already if that works for you

94
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:47,360
and if you're ever curious what architecture an app is using activity

95
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:52,319
monitor has a new architecture column showing you exactly that neat but you'll

96
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:56,560
quickly notice that just having an Intel app running can have a performance

97
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,639
penalty now we're looking at only one to two percent CPU wasted by having

98
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:04,160
creative cloud background apps running but if you're running a macbook and

99
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,759
battery life is a concern it's just something that you should keep an eye on

100
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,759
rosetta provides us with some interesting opportunities here not only

101
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:18,080
can we run macOS applications written for Intel cpus we can also run Windows

102
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:22,720
applications by using crossover office it does have the same limitations as

103
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:27,039
wine does on Linux meaning that things like the Windows version of microsoft

104
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,960
office won't run because of its always on drm

105
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:34,800
but if your application runs this might save your butt now that running Windows

106
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,599
directly in bootcamp isn't really a thing anymore

107
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:41,520
ah bootcamp it's unclear as of the time of writing

108
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:47,360
whether parallel's upcoming support for m1 will enable x86 Windows somehow

109
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:52,560
through rosetta 2 or if we're just going to be stuck with macOS Linux and

110
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,160
Windows for ARM the last of which assuming that you actually wanted to use

111
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:00,240
it you still can't even officially download or license for anything but a

112
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,599
pre-built Windows machine running an ARM CPU

113
00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:07,599
we also found some mac programs that failed to run of course but in our

114
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,520
experience so far this has been for obvious reasons

115
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:16,400
max fan control for example relies on the system management controller found

116
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,720
in Intel max and while system monitor

117
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:23,280
apps might run they might not know what sensors to look at until they've been

118
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:27,520
updated specifically for apple silicon also don't expect an apple silicon

119
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:33,760
version of Intel power gadget anytime soon as for the system itself at first

120
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,680
blush it is just ridiculously responsive

121
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,560
like all those videos of people launching every app on the dock and the

122
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:44,240
thing just doing it that's the real deal the sheer level of

123
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:49,040
optimization in macOS big sur is such that even if you were to fire up prime95

124
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:53,279
and let it rip you would barely even notice it in the ui

125
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:59,120
in fact doing so doesn't even make the fan ramp up it keeps cruising along at

126
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:01,120
its 1700 RPM idle state and good luck

127
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,800
hearing it over the ambient noise but wait a minute if this thing doesn't

128
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:09,040
break a sweat how will we sell all our sweatbands on lttstore.com yeah we snuck

129
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,800
that in there temperature sensors weren't in the usual

130
00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:16,800
spots on the m1 based mac mini so it wasn't until third-party utility eye

131
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,640
statistica was updated for the m1 that we were able to get actual readings

132
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,760
we're glad to have them but without logging functionality we're going to

133
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:28,640
have to make do with numbers rather than charts while idling we were sitting at under 30

134
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:33,279
degrees and when we hit it with a full prime 95 load things get really

135
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:37,600
interesting without the fan ramping up whatsoever this thing is hovering in the

136
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:42,240
low 70s at worst in fact if we look at the total system

137
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:46,160
power our mac mini hovers around 30 watts at its maximum load which is

138
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:51,760
ridiculous given spoiler alert just how fast it is

139
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,800
now speed is where things are going to get contentious

140
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:59,279
i called out apple's marketing on performance and apple fans came crawling

141
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:05,600
out of every corner to tell me how wrong i was and how revolutionary it was

142
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,760
before they'd seen any real numbers

143
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:12,640
but you won't get any apology from me and here's why apple's marketing was

144
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:16,640
and they know it in the short time since the announcement apple has

145
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:21,519
already softened their position from world's fastest CPU core to

146
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:25,760
the world's fastest CPU core in low power silicon

147
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:31,279
which is fine and more in line with what we expected and more in line with what

148
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:36,399
we got so tell you what don't take my word for it take apple's word for it you

149
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:40,240
guys are good at that or if you do want my word for it keep on

150
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:45,519
watching we're going to be comparing our m1 equipped mac mini to its spec out

151
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Intel counterpart along with our 27 inch

152
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:51,360
a ryzen-based desktop pc and the fanless

153
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:55,680
m1 macbook air get subscribed by the way so you don't miss our review of the air

154
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,320
alongside the pro because that is going to be a tougher decision than you might

155
00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:02,880
think compared to the 2020 imac with the core

156
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:08,000
i9 we are sitting at about half of the cinebench multithreaded score

157
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,079
but the m1 chip is much faster than the

158
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,839
core i7 in our previous generation mac mini and remember that's a configuration

159
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,200
that costs 400 more that's especially

160
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:22,240
impressive when you consider that this is a CPU with no hyper threading and

161
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:26,640
with fewer cores as for single threaded performance even

162
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:30,880
the lowly macbook air which is the slowest of the three new m1 machines

163
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:36,720
nearly meets the performance of a desktop verizon 5000 and completely

164
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,560
embarrasses the core i9 imac this shows that if apple had included

165
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:46,720
eight performance cores in the mac mini instead of just four the m1 could have

166
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,880
met or beaten the core i9's 20 threads

167
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,880
in multi-threaded performance at the cost of maybe having to ramp up the fan

168
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:59,519
just to smidge this is huge also huge is compilation performance at

169
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:04,480
half the compile time in this xcode test project it absolutely crushed the

170
00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:09,120
Intel-based mac mini and once again the macbook air isn't far off either

171
00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:13,440
primarily because this is a shorter compile test than we would usually run

172
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:18,639
due to some early teething issues with compiling firefox or chromium on apple

173
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:23,200
silicon video transcoding is a bit hit or miss depending on what you're doing

174
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:27,360
if you're using your CPU to encode h.264 our m1 mini handily beats its

175
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:32,160
predecessor but shows its lack of threads compared to our imac if we use

176
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,839
hardware encoding though the m1 equipped mac mini smokes our i7 mini and even

177
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:43,680
draws near the performance of the imac not too shabby when we switch over to

178
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,880
h.265 things get even more dramatic i

179
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:48,720
mean yes CPU encoding is much much

180
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:54,639
slower than the competition but look at that hardware accelerated

181
00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:57,399
encoding m1 is significantly faster not

182
00:12:54,639 --> 00:13:01,600
only than the imac but then its own h.264 encoder

183
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:05,920
and while it's not quite nbank level performance it's clear that apple's

184
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:10,800
prioritization of hevc performance on their mobile devices is now paying off

185
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:13,680
in spades here on the desktop we tried to get some deep learning tests

186
00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:17,600
going to give the neural engine a workout but unfortunately the apple

187
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:21,279
silicon optimized tensorflow package refused to run on most of the models

188
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:25,440
that we threw at it this isn't too surprising given that its version alpha

189
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:29,360
zero but it's still disappointing because it could have given us a taste

190
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:34,000
of one of the big advantages that the m1 is supposed to bring to the party

191
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:39,760
performance in rosetta 2 as has been widely reported by now is really solid

192
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:45,200
in our testing it's at about two-thirds to three-quarters of full speed with

193
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:49,839
blender putting the m1 equipped max at well under half the speed of our 27-inch

194
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:53,360
imac but within spinning distance of the Intel mac mini

195
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:57,600
and while blender isn't yet available for apple silicon if we assume that it

196
00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:02,720
scales the way cinebench does we could expect to shave nearly two minutes off

197
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:06,880
the bmw render time GPU focus tests don't show much disadvantage at all with

198
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:11,279
rosetta which is pretty sick and the integrated m1 GPU course reached nearly

199
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:18,959
half the performance of the dedicated Radeon 5700 xt in our 27-inch imac that

200
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,360
is much faster than the uhd graphics in

201
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:25,680
our Intel mac mini the adobe suite particularly premiere pro looks like a

202
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:30,720
poor fit for apple silicon at first glance but there's more to the story

203
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:35,040
here considering the core i7 based mac mini scored worse

204
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:39,839
and very close in photoshop means that once these apps are updated for m1 the

205
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:44,160
new macs should completely dominate anything in their power class and

206
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,959
probably price class too that's a new one

207
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:50,800
so then wait why doesn't rosetta suck as much as

208
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:54,720
other x86 emulators that we've seen in the past like

209
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,800
microsoft's for example apparently this is mostly down to

210
00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:03,519
hardware tweaks made in silicon to accelerate common x86 load store

211
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:08,399
instructions essentially apple silicon can take x86 like instructions and

212
00:15:06,079 --> 00:15:13,120
process them directly rather than having to fully translate to ARM as of right

213
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:19,440
now the only armed CPU that has the ability to run x86 programs like this is

214
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:21,519
the m1 so sorry microsoft

215
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,079
Windows for ARM devices are still going to suck

216
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,839
of course that's not all it wouldn't be an LTT

217
00:15:26,079 --> 00:15:32,160
video without trying to play games on it would it most games available on macOS

218
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:36,639
still only have Intel versions running under rosetta and we're getting between

219
00:15:33,839 --> 00:15:39,839
30 to 60 FPS in the mac ported tomb raiders

220
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:43,920
cs go unfortunately wouldn't load for us it just hung on the title screen and hey

221
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,760
if you're wondering whether rocket league will run through crossover you're

222
00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:52,320
in luck as long as you're okay with a low frame rate and some flickering

223
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:56,720
but while those games are running in rosetta there is actually one game that

224
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:01,680
has been updated for apple silicon giving us a glimpse into the future

225
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:05,600
world of warcraft shadowlands now i'll admit that this is not a game that we've

226
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,920
even considered using for our benchmarking suite because there's such

227
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:13,600
a variety of locales and assets that there's just no way to do it

228
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:18,720
consistently also there's no canned benchmark so take this with a grain of

229
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:23,440
salt and uh wait there's no where's the graph

230
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,920
alrighty no graph so at 1080p using the

231
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:34,639
recommended quality level of five the game appears to run at a solid 60 FPS

232
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:37,279
yep 60fps and no more i guess vsync is

233
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:39,839
locked on cause the toggle's broken oh well

234
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:44,959
it's still really cool to see that it runs pretty okay aside from some minor

235
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:48,720
graphical glitches due to upscaling from 1080p to native resolution

236
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:52,480
so then mac mini or more accurately

237
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,680
m1 does it live up to the expectations that

238
00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:01,920
apple set for us i guess that really depends on whether you're more of a spirit of the law or

239
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:06,079
letter of the law kind of character for my part i still take issue with the

240
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:10,959
overly vague promises that apple made about the performance of their first

241
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:12,640
desktop silicon and the most frustrating

242
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:18,240
thing about the situation is how completely unnecessary it was if apple

243
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:24,160
had just come out on stage and said hey we've got x86 emulation that's between

244
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:26,880
50 to 75 of native performance i would

245
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:32,960
have been absolutely blown away and i probably still would have been skeptical

246
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:34,799
x86 emulation on Windows is balls slow

247
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:39,200
not to mention that it still doesn't support 64-bit apps which apple has

248
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:44,160
handily taken care of here the problem for me is that they decided to hold back

249
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:48,640
on specifics and from my experience the less concrete data a company is willing

250
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,760
to give the less confident they appear in their product

251
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:56,480
and so that quite unfairly painted a picture that

252
00:17:53,679 --> 00:17:59,520
was simultaneously unrealistically rosy for the apple fans who take their claims

253
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:03,440
at face value and far too bleak for those whose bs

254
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:07,280
detectors wouldn't stop going off throughout the entire announcement

255
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:13,200
at the end of the day though what apple has with the 2020 mac mini is a good

256
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:16,400
product it's affordable it's powerful

257
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:18,960
it's quiet it sips power and it is a

258
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:23,840
great way for let's say a developer who missed out on the transition kit to get

259
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:28,240
into the ecosystem and start coding it's not what i want it lacks far too

260
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,880
much in expansion and especially in high speed connectivity to be very useful for

261
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:37,679
me but that's not to say that it can't ever be as i already said in my coverage of

262
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:43,280
the announcement the m1 is just the first step into a bold new world where

263
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:45,280
apple is for the first time ever fully

264
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:49,360
vertically integrated on the mac they have complete control over their own

265
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:52,640
destiny with only commodity parts like RAM

266
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:56,880
nand flash and display panel sourced from third parties

267
00:18:54,400 --> 00:19:00,559
i absolutely cannot wait to see what 2021 brings

268
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:04,400
does anyone else think that the naming is because they're going to be putting

269
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,600
the screws to Intel you know m1 m2 m4 just bigger and bigger

270
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,640
screws anyone bueller

271
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:17,440

reaction to the apple m1 announcement to get a little more context for why we

288
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:26,240
felt this launch might not be all sunshine and rainbows like apple claimed
