Apple is kicking off 2023 with a slew of new products — Mac Minis and MacBook Pros. Apple’s new devices are powered by two new chips, M2 Pro and M2 Max. These two chips are the next generation of Apple’s Silicon, and if the mini-keynote and the press release are any indications, they are a … Continue reading Apple launches new (M2) chips
A day before the likely launch of Apple’s new line-up of products — iPhone 14 models and new Apple Watch models — is not the best time to share my thoughts about a product launched at the previous Apple event. But then, I am not doing a paint-by-numbers review. Nor am I a reviewer in … Continue reading Some thoughts on the 2022 MacBook Air
These were a series of tweets in response to the WWDC keynote presentation. These were off-the-cuff observations, but I still feel the same at the end of the week, and my opinion hasn’t changed.

It is not very often that I find it hard to say goodbye to a device. But yesterday, I was sad when I packed up the MacBook Pro 13 powered by the Apple M1 chip and shipped it back to Cupertino. The loaner was heading home. As I mentioned before, the 8GB base model had … Continue reading Hard goodbye to M1 MacBook
After a long chat with Apple’s executive troika, I asked my media contact at the company if I could try the 13-inch MacBook Pro model version. The executives’ comments about the M1 had convinced me that, if the chip was as good as they said it was, then the 8 GB would be enough.

There are already many (and will be many more) recaps about Apple’s One More Thing keynote. The company unveiled its silicon, the M1 Chip, which will replace Intel processors in its lineup. For now, the M1 Chip will become the brains and heart of three consumer-focused Mac-devices: the Mac mini, the Macbook Air, and the … Continue reading My notes on Apple’s M1 Chip
