I absolutely agree Apple typically ship a fast SSD in their computers. I am not convinced they had to solder them to achieve the performance. | |
| ▲ | newsoftheday 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I had to work on a Mac M3 for a year, it sucked, it did not feel snappier than any Windows or Linux machine (including this one) that I've ever used and that is going back to the 1980's. | | |
| ▲ | stingraycharles 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | I suggest you judge based on benchmarks rather than vibes. If you believe the latest M3 does not perform better than machines you’ve used in the 80s, I have no idea how to even start a reasonable discussion about this. | | |
| ▲ | newsoftheday 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | > If you believe the latest M3 does not perform better than machines you’ve used in the 80s That wasn't what I was trying to say, I apologize, I should have been clearer. What I intended to say was that I've been using various, many computers since the 1980's so I have a wide and deep sampling of experiences with them and to that end...the M3 did NOT feel to me like it performed better. Regardless the benchmarks, I know how the machine should feel and I know M3 did not feel any better than any other machine I've used (and that is a lot of laptops). |
