Mr Geeze/ALL.

although i'm a win user who just got a new ryzen 7 mini pc (m.2ssd + 16 g) that has elated me so far (the next year will tell) for peanuts…for the first time…i'm very interested in apples offerings due to the apple M processors…(kudos to apple..)..
and am considering a m2 mini (prolly a refurb when the market goes m3/4.)..BUT .from my tech background i know 2 things.

1..amd and intel won't take losing market share without a fight, they WILL respond.

2..Apple has some challenges ahead due to limitations of semiconductor physics.and i'm very excited to see how they address these limitations as they ramp up future
more powerful M processors. particularly POWER CONSUMPTION AND HEAT.
talk to any semiconductor physicist and the other issue is also a question of how much can be crammed on a processor wafer.

although some here might think i'm biased towards win/amd/intel i really am not.
i'm biased towards computer solutions that offer fantastic price/performance for us poorer souls.

if tomorrow the 100 buk raspberry pi ran at insane speeds using quantum tech i would be all over it. I DO laud apple for this new silicon however.

right now on my new win pc i cant complain cos boot into win from cold or into biab or realband is blinkin fast taking a few secs. in addition genning rt's in biab is practically instant….tiny bit of time compared to my previous intel i5 refurb which was pretty fast.
now of course faster ssd n' memory play their part too.

i would be really interested in hearing from apple m2 users some stats like how to boot into the desktop from cold boot, and how long do logic n' biab take to appear from clicking on their respective icons etc. and how long rt's take to generate.

2 things i would have liked in the m2 mini are…allowing install of 2 m2 ssd's internally plus more hi speed usb ports.

nice ideas Mr G.

ps..re getting rid of realband correct me if i'm wrong but didnt Dr G say recently that exciting things were planned for realband ?? YIPPEE !


happiness.
