Apple recently announced a new slate of Macs with M4 chips and I am going over my initial thoughts on all of the hardware

Over the weekend I got the chance to check out all of the new hardware that was announced at Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event. I figured I would just write down some thoughts and ideas I had about the different products here, as some of them are things that I haven’t heard a ton of other people saying.

Sorry, “Core Ultra 200V” as Intel is calling it. Anyway, these chips are seemingly Intel’s “thin and light” chips and not for their larger, more powerful applications, as evidenced by the fact that you’re limited to 8 cores and 32GB of RAM. There are people out there who really think that Intel’s got something here, and it would seem that they’re decently right. It’s refreshing to see at least something interesting from Intel since Apple broke up with them and started releasing the Apple Silicon chips, but I think Intel is simultaneously shooting themselves in the foot with this release.

I first got my 15″ MacBook Air M2 about a year ago so I figured I would give you my thoughts on the laptop after 1 year of use from everything to being a full time student to creative tasks to full-scale development.

SBCs, or single-board computers, are tiny but relatively powerful and capable mini-computers, with all the important parts built into and around a single circuit board – including the CPU, RAM, Bluetooth and WiFi support, and even USB and video-out/HDMI ports.

It’s no secret that Apple seriously needs to rethink the way the iPad lineup looks. There are currently 5 different screen sizes (8.3″, 9.7″, 10.9″, 11″, and 12.9″) and 4 different lines (iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air, iPad Pro). This is just a lot of different things going on and it could really stand to be streamlined quite a bit.
