Bottom line that means that I no longer have to lug 2 machines around, and that my XPS 15 can go in the trash (well, on ebay) where it belongs.
I can run an entire MS System Center simulation (11 servers and 3 clients) and a network simulation in Cisco VIRL simultaneously while having a separate VM doing packet capturing and LogManagement/SIEM in parallel. Side by side, I didnt feel much of a difference in day to day performance.
I considered trading in my 12.9-inch (2018) for a 11-inch M1 (2021), but said no. The new MacBook Air finally gets a Retina display as well as modern processors, 50 percent thinner bezels, and an updated. I had the 2019 MacBook Pro but sold it for a 2021 MacBook Air. Apple announced a new MacBook Air during a hardware event in New York. 6 cores with hyperthreading and 32 GB RAM (finally!) make a world of difference here. Then again, Im a Apple Pro type of person. I am not doing a lot of hardcore video and 3D stuff, I mainly need the power to run extensive virtualization projects in class. I make almost no typing errors while I had to go back and make corrections all the time on my 2016 model. Much more quiet (maybe not in dB, but in perception) and a much better typing experience. While everybody says the changes to the keyboard are minor, I do not think so. Instead, the Air has ditched its price advantage in favor of more competitive specs.
If its the 15 inch then yeah its quad core and would wreck the new macbook air. Now that the MacBook Air has been revamped, it’s no longer at the 1,000 price point. Even so its still much faster due to a much higher tdp (28w on the macbook pro vs 7w on the new air) and far better graphics processor. I have received my new MBP (2.6 GHz i7, 560X, 32GB RAM, 2 TB SSD) a couple of days ago and I am extremely happy with it. Most people wont benefit from 16gb ram on a dual core and the i7 is less than 10 faster, despite costing alot more. Many thanks for that – highly informative and helpful.
