• @dylanmcd8 Dylan on x

  Absolutely hilarious (and insane) that Apple will still let you buy this [image]

  wow this thing will call the anthropic api so fast

• @samifathi_ Sami Fathi on x

  The Mac Studio now has the M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips. Not confusing at all. [image]

  $14,099 for the maxed out Mac Studio... damnnnn [image]

• @basicappleguy Basic Apple Guy on x

  M4 Max & M3 Ultra come to the Mac Studio! [image]

• @samifathi_ Sami Fathi on x

  For $999, you now get a MacBook Air with: - the M4 chip - 13.6-inch Retina display - 16GB of unified memory - 256GB SSD - Apple Intelligence support - 12MP with Center Stage A crazy good deal. [image]

  Integration and yield at the cutting edge are brutal. That's probably why we see the brand new Mac Studio with M4 pro or M3 Ultra, not M4 ultra. [image]

  Apple's Mac Studio refresh is wild: • M4 Max & M3 Ultra • Up to 512GB unified memory (yes, really) • Thunderbolt 5 at 120Gb/s (!) • Up to 16TB SSD storage Arrives March 12—pro workflows just got ridiculous. [image]

  Apple makes it official: M4 MacBook Air announced, alongside a new Mac Studio with — yes — M3 Ultra and M4 Max chips.

  I don't want to sound like a fanboy because stuff like 256GB of storage is still really annoying, but this is a remarkable laptop for $999 and nothing really comes close.

  Say hello to the new MacBook Air! The world's most popular laptop now features M4, Apple Intelligence capabilities, and a beautiful new color—sky blue. [video]

• @parkerortolani Parker Ortolani on x

  reminder that the blue MacBook Air is the first non-neutral color the company has offered in a notebook since the rubber iBook G3

  Macs are lowkey the best value in computing right now Insane speed and power, excellent and premium design, lasting speed and software support for years to come, and now great prices! (Plus even cheaper when you shop on the education store!) [image]

  See Apple, that's all we require. A new color. Especially if it's blue. [image]

• @stevemoser Steve Moser on x

  The MacBook Air 13-in (M4) looks like a solid spec bump over the MBA M3. Other than the new chip we have: - New Sky Blue color (Space Gray is out) - 53.8-watt-hour but same stated battery life - 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports instead of the Thunderbolt 3 - Unified Memory (RAM) tops out at…

• @joannastern Joanna Stern on x

  Good! The MacBook Air is back at a starting price of $999. And it has a new M4 chip. [image]

• @markgurman Mark Gurman on x

  Apple rolls out M4 MacBook Air at $999 with sky blue color option, 12MP FaceTime camera + upgraded $1999 and $3999 Mac Studio with the M4 Max and first M3 Ultra chip. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

• @vnchocotaco @vnchocotaco on x

  Down to $999 is fantastic, but ideally, I'd like it to revert to the original Air M1 price of $799. I'm willing to settle for the old design. That would be an unbeatable laptop killer price.

  What tariffs? Apple cuts the MacBook Air price by $100 for the M4 versions, starting at $999 and $1199 for 13 inch and 15 inch.

  Folks thought this was the case for M3 Max, which we know now isn't true. However, I can confirm M4 does not have the Ultra Fusion connector and there is no M4 Ultra planned. Ultra does not need to be an every year cycle, and that is likely the case in future.

• @yagilb @yagilb on x

  Holy sh*t @lmstudio mentioned in Apple's 512GB Mac Studio product page! 🥹🤯 [image]

• @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x

  Interestingly, AI workstations have been one of the strongest categories in the PC industry. A LOT of AI software is developed on Macs. Mac Studio with M3 Ultra will position itself nicely in AI workstation. Also, most RAM ever given to a GPU in a workstation!

• @maxwinebach Max Weinbach on x

  Apple's M3 Ultra is here and it's absurd: • 32-core CPU, 80-core GPU • Up to 512GB RAM, 16TB storage • Runs 600B-parameter AI models in memory • Thunderbolt 5 (120Gb/s!) [image]

• @bzamayo Benjamin Mayo on x

  is Apple actively making M3 Max chips or does it just have enough left over in inventory to turn into M3 Ultras

• @vadimyuryev Vadim Yuryev on x

  Holy moly! I was only expecting 256GB RAM but it's up to 512! This is a LocalLLM DREAM. 512GB on VRAM is unheard of. Who needs Nvidia when you have this!?

• @vadimyuryev Vadim Yuryev on x

• @markgurman Mark Gurman on x

  With an M3 Ultra going into the Mac Studio, Apple could differentiate from the Mac Pro, which could then get the M4 Ultra. Right now, the Mac Studio and Mac Pro oddly both have the M2 Ultra and same overall performance.

• @vadimyuryev Vadim Yuryev on x

  Here's another reason why M3 Ultra makes sense. Apple likely used N3E for the M3 Ultra chip like Trendforce leaked way back in 2024. This helps explain everything a whole lot better. M3 Ultra = N3E node [image]
