Still runs Windows, macOS runs on a Unix kernel. Early leaked benchmarks put currently available M chips ahead of
I don't dismiss the concept, it's actually not bad. The challenge is if this turns into something like a Pentium Pro(P6) vs. Win95(8/16/32bit) OS problem!? P6 was actually really good, for its days, if the OS was purely 32bit! Now we are talking about an even more complex composition (s) of a consumer facing SW/HW!
This is far ahead of M5... As far as 5-6 years... this beast can do 14 T more matrix multiplications at FP4 that consume/allow for 4 times bigger models. In the era of agents M5 are just chromebooks... The diference is so huge
The problem was never the chips. It was always Windows OS and OEM’s obsession with including bloatware.
AI Agents run on a windows PC and could take all personal data in seconds…such a security threat
Ai replacing my fbi agent.
Mac mini and Studios are killing it!
Local agent capability is ok as long as i have admin control over the agent
apple can come up with 2-3 variants for its mac Operating system .1 without intelligence like Big Sur and 1 with its vision of mac os features. similarly for iphones ios 18 kind, without intelligence and 1 with its vision on mobile os .
As a smart man once said - "use tech to use tech"
is that croc or snake jacket?
I thought we were trying to move everything off board to the cloud. I thought access to the Internet is no problem these days.
The pivot is strong. Datacenters are out. Local hardware is in.
I think the issue here is figuring out how many people actually want that. The closer you get to "I want that" the closer that target audience has (1) already built that (2) doesn't need to buy one. While I wait for that to come out, I'm already building my own. I'm sure, like gamers and graphic designers, these will be useful for people who have the money to buy $1k+ devices and don't have the energy to diy their own hardware. But I'm going to guess the demand is much lower than the general "PC market".
I want to play forza horizon in macbook , but can I?What can I do in Macbook that cant be done in windows anyway. 😅
I would love ma AI agent looking at me
People do their best work in privacy
We shouldn’t expect a home run on the 1st gen. There will be lots of optimizations required from Nvidia and Microsoft, and that alone takes couple of years.
Which virus protection do I use with this PC?
It is interesting to compare to Apple Silicon and Macbook Pros, but it feels like this is more about dealing with the realities of token consumption in the future and providing a path to run AI locally on what is still the predominant platform for end user computing.
