Disclaimer: I haven’t been paid by Apple or anyone else to write this. A laptop chip just posted a Geekbench 6 single-core score of 3,461 while drawing about 6.6 watts. For context, the LED bulb in your bathroom probably draws more power than that. The chip is Apple’s A18 Pro – the same one from the iPhone 16 Pro – and it just beat every M1 MacBook Air ever made for single core tasks. In a $599 laptop. 🤯 $599.
Preface: I’m not really a Mac guy. But I have deep respect for what Apple has done with their silicon, and I’ve been following their CPU journey since the Motorola 68k days through PowerPC, the Intel transition, and now their in-house Apple Silicon. What they’ve accomplished in the last five years is genuinely remarkable. Apple is one of the few original tech companies that has survived and thrived over the decades while still staying in the consumer tech space. As

Last updated: April 28th, 2020 The iPad was first introduced in 2010 without a camera. Since then, the capabilities and models of the iPad family have steadily expanded. In this time of physical/social distancing and teleconferencing via a myriad of apps (Zoom, Skype, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Facetime, etc.), camera quality has become even more important. Unfortunately, it can be hard to keep track of the camera changes over the iPad line after so many years. Therefore, I compiled a handy
The new 2016/2017 MacBook Pro is a fine looking piece of machinery. It packs a legitimately high-end display into a svelte package and it also offer excellent battery life. For a graphic designer or individual that deals with an exclusively Apple ecosystem it is a splendid update to a historically solid line of machnes. However, for an attorney and IT professional dealing with legacy applications and a variety of real world situations, there are some major drawbacks to Apple’s mobile workstation.
Amazon has some fairly sleek packaging for the Echo: Even more minimalist than Apple’s packaging. It seems Amazon wants Alexa to be sleeker and sexier than Siri.

If you are buying a phone from AT&T online, you will likely be prompted to choose one of the following: My question was: what exactly is the difference between “mobile insurance” and “mobile protection pack”. The answer is, not much.
