    Data science (R and SPSS 26 etc.) under Rosetta 2 / Apple silicon M1?

    I know there are tons of posts with benchmarks and tests whether a given software works, but I would like to dedicate this thread to data science apps e.g. R, RStudio, SPSS, Python (I know it will work natively), QGIS and additional software that researchers use to create illustrations as e.g...

    Best dock for new ARM 13" MBP

    I dove right in and ordered a maxed out 13" this morning. I'll be using it mostly in clamshell mode at my desk. What are some recommended docks? At minimum, I need all of these simultaneously: 3.5mm audio, gigabit ethernet, 4K monitor, charger, and at least 2 free USB ports for external storage...

    Why does x86 exist?

    Sorry if I'm dumb, but Apple silicon is ,according to rumors, supposed to be more power efficient generate less heat but also more powerful (a14x better than core i9?) and also be cheaper. Then why has x86 ever become popular/the standard if Apple silicon/Arm is, I guess, better in every way?

    Apple Silicon Event - November 17th?

    Jon Prosser was tweeting this morning that he's hearing there will be an Apple Mac ARM event on the 17th November which may be confirmed by press release the Tuesday before, 10th November. Given his recent hit rate with rumours I think its as reliable a rumour as we'll get and does tie-in with...

    When to expect ARM Mac Mini?

    It seems like the first set of ARM macs will be MacBooks. With Apple saying the transition period will take around 2-3 years, when can we expect an ARM Mac Mini? They seem to have neglected it and it is due for an update having only 8th gen CPU atm. Only other current mac with 8th gen CPU is...

    Will Apple do what MSFT and HP couldn't?

    A few years ago, HP released the Elite X3 - A Windows 10 smartphone that could be docked and used as your laptop. I'm an IT manager, and I love the vision behind this: you have one device, and it does everything you need. Its your phone while you're out and about, but drop it in a dock and...

    Mac Silicon - What do you expect from the first Mac SoCs?

    Hey everyone! Pretty new here! I'm excited to see what the Apple silicon team will deliver for the first Mac SoC. It's a chance for Apple's silicon team to take the Mac far beyond the capabilities and performance of generic x86 competition in the PC space. I feel many tech enthusiasts are...

    Late 2020 16" MacBook Pro Predictions

    I was hoping to buy a future-proofed & maxed-out MacBook Pro (with the best GPU) for starting university this fall. I felt the 16" released back in November was only a warm-up for something really big for 2020. I imagined a no-bezels miniLED 14.1" display with a new deca-core i9 CPU, paired with...

    Could x86-64 emulation be possible on ARM Macs?

    Rosetta 2 will not support virtualization using x86-64. And people are talking about it. But could x86-64 emulation be possible?

    Mac Nano / Apple Pi

    Any chance at getting a Mac Nano now that they're switching to ARM chips? I'm thinking something along the lines of the Mac Mini dev kit, but with a much smaller enclosure. Basically take whatever current iPad Pro CPU, and put it in a tiny case with soldered RAM and SSD. No fan like Macs, and no...

    MacOS BS Conspiracy

    Apple is going to drive the transition to ARM by introducing flashing, new hardware that will entice uniformed, casual users who don't understand what the change means. Their frustration will lead to a slew of angry posts; and instead of Apple, they will be directed at those companies who...

    Windows support in an ARM future

    Recently rumors have been heating up that Apple will move Macs to the ARM architecture next year (2021.) What does that mean for Windows support on Macs? Will there be a few high performance Macs that still use Intel chips? (I'm looking at you, Mac Pro.) Will Apple offer some kind of emulation...

    Would ARM switch mean lack of Intel support in 4 years?

Hi, I'm upgrading my Mac in a 6-8 year basis, I use to buy the high end Macbook Pro model, in order to get more out of my money and the best of the tech at that moment. I don't earn so much money to upgrade it sooner than 6-8 years. I'm reaching the 8 years...

    What will happen to TB3 ports if Apple moves to ARM chips?

    I wonder this question for the last few days. Thunderbolt interface was designed with both intel and Apple together. What will happen to these ports if Apple use its own ARM based A chips in the next MacBooks? There will be totally different chipsets and how Intel will let Apple use the...

    Wild speculation on new Modular Mac Pro

    I've been thinking about what Apple might do with the MMP. Despite what we all seem to want (a new cheese grater). Apple will never do that, they want to sell us the next generation. What if the MMP had: • 4 slots for NVME based drives (takes up less space than a single box SSD). • 4 PCI...

    Does anyone know of any ARM code in MacOS

    I remember an article where you were able to get OS X 10.9 Mavericks running (kind of) on an iPad Air. I was wondering, does anyone know of any ARM code in newer versions of OS X or MacOS? Here is the article https://tidbits.com/article/14617

Here are the two important reasons why ARM will make it to the various other MAC platforms IMHO. 1) Security =- Full...
