All these benchmarks. My benchmark is opening the lid and “Does it feel fast? Yep!” And calling it a day. I honestly can’t see any reason to ditch my M1 MBP 13”. I’m no power user but it handled everything I want (except games) and has amazing battery life.
There's one thing that bothers me about my current setup. My Windows desktop wake from sleep routine is about 20 seconds. It's about 3 seconds on my M1 mini. I'd expect that some of that is hardware and some of that is Windows. Same thing with my MacBook Pro - it wakes from sleep really quickly.
Not sure if its allowed by forum rules… Maybe a hint: Its a platform you‘d use to „talk about“ something
A lot of people and I want to see ALL!! benchmarks and not hundred times the same three benchmarks.
so thank you lolI use an i7-10700 desktop that I built last year next to an M1 mini. The mini wakes up from sleep instantly. The Windows desktop takes about eight seconds and I have to click the mouse to get it to bring up the password box. It's a short amount of time but I have to do it every morning. I am going to try going all-Mac this week (M1 mini + M1 PRO MacBook Pro).
It should be interesting to see if Alder Lake can support Hackintosh. I've stopped doing Hackintosh since I got my M1 PRO MacBook Pro. It's not worth the effort now that Apple has great hardware.
For the record I do live in a rougher area of Seattle, but it's still Seattle, so I'm not worried about my own house being broken into etc. (which I should I guess, since it happened once but I got security cameras so..) but I do worry about what I typically use laptops for, live performance of electronic music etc. I really don't want to ever lose a 4K laptop at a show, I can handle the loss of a 1.5k laptop at a show.Probably not great.Sorry.
Depends a lot on if your home/renters/etc insurance covers items while they aren’t physically at your residence, what restrictions are in play, etc. US policies can get convoluted here. Some items you can call out explicitly and pay extra to get covered, but it’s potentially cheaper to self-insure depending on the actual risk.
But also keep in mind Seattle is a high cost of living area in the States. A regressive state tax structure dependent on sales taxes, US cities in general being car dependent, lack of affordable housing for various reasons, and a bunch of well-paid tech employees driving up prices on what housing there is can screw up the equation for an awful lot of folks who aren’t working for a big tech company in the area.
