    .

  • Solid updates and the biggest surprise is no big price increases recently.

  • The extra memory as standard appears to be the highlight. Especially in the Air. I mean, even a MacBook Air M2 or M3 model is more than capable of taking on the majority of tasks these days with ease.

    It’s funny, apart from the figures and the names, they’ve been running the same script now for years. I think I might already be over “Apple Intelligence” and I haven’t even used it.

    These releases always get me thinking about buying a new one so I suppose they’re doing their job as designed.

    I have a MacBook Air M1 with 8Gb and never had performance issues.

  • I deliberately avoided this thread so that I didn’t have to think about it, but I’m now wondering if I should give my existing MacBook to my daughter and get one of these.

    The only issue I had for lighter uses was that I like having too many tabs open sometimes. There are settings and plugins for chrome/firefox that solve that pretty well by backgrounding some tabs.

    I'm honestly mostly excited about these new M4 machines because it'll lower the price on the previous generations, and those are nice machines that'll do a lot for a long while (if you don't care much about AI I guess).

  • I had to. Have been waiting for two years for the stars to align. MacBook Pro on order.

  • The M4 Pro chip looks to be a lot more powerful than the M3 Pro — it has returned to having more P cores than E cores.

    And the single core performance is crazy fast.

    Logic is going to absolutely fly on the Pro and Max chipsets.

    I’m going to be running Reaper and some big sound libraries like Musio and SoundPaint. Can’t wait…

    As a someone who upgrades iPad and iPhone almost every year, I still can’t justify a new MBP over my current M1 Pro. The numbers look great, but I’ve never once even come close to hitting the CPU limits on my current laptop. I’d love to get one of the space black ones for sure to complete my trifecta, but still going to wait for a bigger refresh I think.

    Do you use your M1 Pro as a DAW? How much RAM did you go with?

  • Yes, I’ve used my M1 Pro as a daw, both for my own uses, as an Ableton software tester, and as a professional mastering engineer running some pretty CPU heavy plug ins. I also have done a lot of video editing on it, though I still prefer the iPad for that these days.

  • Both the new Mini and the Pro have been mentioned here - what do you think of the new iMac? Isn't it as good for music production as the Mini (when portability is not a priority)?

    They’re fine. But they don’t have an option for the M4 Pro SOC. The M4 Pro chip has a lot more performance cores for a start. The entry level M4 Pro has double the P-cores compared to the M4 for example.

    Ok. Well, there’s a reason why it is a Pro 😉

    What about vs the Mini? I know I can look at the specs but prefer the suggestions of a pro… 😎
