what do you think that baby is going to cost you with the Apple Tax? Really look at some of the specs you can get. These new Mac Pros are the most expensive ones they have offered to date. if your hardware didn't die, you could continue along with what you had.Īpple is the most expensive computer you can ever get. Back in the day when you could actually buy their software, you could sit on a suite for 10 years if you wanted to. With this damn subscription based scheme of theirs you are always being force fed the most up to date bloated piece of code that can ship. Remember this, Adobe isn't making their programs any lighter. So it's overkill for this but struggles with this.
But in the business world, you have to strike a balance between the two. Where everything you have is overkill for the task at hand. Quite frankly, if your system is smooth as butter and hardly ever has a hiccup, it's more a sign of how light your work is, not how heavy it is.
As much as you'd swear you had exactly what you needed, you always ran into those jobs that showed how wrong you were. It was always a full blown tower with beefed up graphics card, lots of storage, and RAM. My background working in graphics never had me on a laptop of any kind ever. The fun thing is, you can never predict what your requirements will be in the future, you can only calculate what it is now. If you asked that question before these new Macs were announced, they'd all swear an M1 Air is plenty for anyone. You could be quick to dismiss this achievement with the recent release of the Nvidia GeForce 3000 series, or the AMD Radeon HD 6000 graphics cards, but having this level of graphics performance on a SoC shouldn’t be overlooked.How long have you been doing graphic design? You should already know what your needs are based on having done it. The tests were also run under Apple's Metal API, so there aren't exactly a lot of non-Apple product comparisons available, but this could change when more people get their hands on the new MacBook Pro (opens in new tab), MacBook Air (opens in new tab), and Mac mini (opens in new tab). We would love to see the M1 actually tested against old favorites like the GTX 1650 due to its performance boost over the GTX 1050 Ti, but sadly this isn’t available at the time of writing.īefore we get too excited about what this could mean for chipset advancements, we need to point out that GFXBench 5.0 is usually used for benchmarking smartphone devices and isn't exactly the optimal tool for testing graphics cards. This is the same TFLOPS achieved by the Radeon RX 560, and just below the GeForce GTX 1650 (opens in new tab)'s 2.9 TFLOPS. According to Apple, the M1's 8-core GPU can juggle up to 25,000 threads, with the potential to deliver up to 2.6 TFLOPS of throughput. The GFXBench 5.0 (opens in new tab) benchmarks revealed that the M1 often outperforms the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and AMD Radeon RX 560.
