  • How fast is the new M4 chip in benchmarks? You might be shocked about Apple's new M4 CPU's Single and Multi-Core speeds. We look at the speed of the new M4 chip in the iPad Pros as a test first. Also, when are the new M4 Macs coming out in 2024? Will new M4 Macs ship at WWDC2024? We cover all this and more about the M4 chip on the iPad and in the new Macs to find out when the new M4 MacBook Air, Pro, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro will ship to consumers.
    The New M4 Macs Are coming soon but you can pick up a M4 iPad Right now:

    I want a new M4 desk top when they hit. I am going to be using it for Final Cut, photoshop and Logic Pro. but I'm wondering about monitors. the Mac monitors are so pricey. so I was wondering, Is there a reason why people don't use a really good OLED tv instead of a Mac monitor ? I was thinking of getting like a 50 inch LG or Samsung OLed tv to use as a monitor that I could wall mount above my desk. but I am not a tech person. maybe someone could let me know if that is good or bad idea.

    • @craigneidel
      @craigneidel  10 дней назад

      Yes, the M4 Mac mini sounds like it could be a great machine and the studio. There are a bunch of video on using OLED tvs if you search for them. The issue is burn-in sometimes and also the size of the screens means you need to turn head to see everything. But some people love it so it's an option for sure. I may do a video on that someday.

    Bought M1 Air one and half year ago, with 16 GB of RAM. Perfect machine. Used, but as brand new for 800 Euros. Sold it year later for 700 Euros. Made 30k in that time on it (web developer).
    Grabbed M3 Pro 14" as I wanted to connect 5k2k ultrawide which Air would not handle to full potential for scaled resolution (due to 6k framebuffer limit and only one framebuffer for external displays).
    In terms of performance, I don't feel like I've got a drastic improvement, for my work M1 would still be plenty and more than I need. 20 % improvement in terms of single core is fine (for Node.js and such) but not that drastic. It doesn't matter if I compile project 2 seconds faster. Now, having 6 efficiency cores in M3 Pro is fantastic.

    The pacing in this video has improved since your earlier videos. I agree with your analysis on the desktop macs but Apple's delivery dates don't always match what seems to "make sense". Often they are constrained by external factors ( shipping, supply chains, working environment in foreign countries etc. ) which they don't control directly. Thanks for the video. I really don't want to buy an M2 Mac Studio right now and waiting for the M4 works ( for me at least ). Cheers.

    I got a $499 M2 Mac mini base last year. I just used it to get my dream job (you can have multiple windows and tabs open and not worry). Experienced the spinning beach ball though infrequently. I should have gotten the 16GB RAM. Best computer Ive ever owned. My only gripe is You can't attach external disk drives or external SD cards without the dreaded "You failed to eject disk before shutoff" or whatever. In past unfortunately, Ive have compromised data on external drives simply by leaving them plugged in to my Mac, and getting this warning many times. Thats ridiculous. Should be able to have external drives connected indefinitely without risk of corrupting precious data. If you know a work around please drop quick note. AS for M4 computers, my priority is an upgraded drone. I love seeing Apple desktops getting better and browse their site for fun.

      And use a similar process under Windows, except use the USB taskbar icon in certain situations. It is not necessarily well known that this is recommended. You can "get away" with skipping this step, but it can bite you too. I have encountered many people who were unaware of this step; they'll just yank the drive.

      @@dannyize Hi Danny, my external drives connected to my Macs have always forced-disconnected on a daily basis by the software on their own - despite remaining physically connected. This software disconnect occurs either when the computer goes to sleep, I put it in sleep mode, or I power it off. I am not physically disconnecting the drives at all. Nevertheless they are getting corrupted over time due to this disconnecting-without-ejection phenomenon. Thats the whole frustration. (When physically removing the drives, I usually remember to eject first and then data corruption is not a problem.

      Andre stated his devices are automatically removed, i.e: "falling off line" is how I would put it. It sounds to me like they are bus-powered devices that have no external power source (my speculation). Devices like this can be finicky, although the mini should provide ample power. Maybe try an upgraded cable if possible. Another band-aid might be to make sure they are formatted with APFS, which should provide better data integrity if they do go offline. But mostly I am grasping at straws here.

    M4 is looking pretty darn solid, especially with intel not really being competitive on performance per watt.

That the M4 chips are amazingly fast doesn't really matter for most laptop tasks.
