Running a 2TB SSD 16GB RAM M1 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, next to a 2TB 24GB RAM M2 Mac Air, I can see and feel just how much 'snappier' the iPad is in almost EVERYTHING. The MacBook Air just seems SLOOOOOOOOOW, when side-by-side with the iPad. The only couple of tasks that the MacBook Air can do better are TERMINAL (CLI)-BASED WORKFLOWS and VIRTUAL MACHINE-based workflows. I know that I can use the iSH app on the iPad for terminal tasks, BUT it is a cut-down experience with simple commands like 'traceroute' being curtailed and yielding no helpful results (on iPad). Of course, I can use Kali Linux, Windows, and Mac OS on the MacBook Air -- all of which look and feel far slower (on the MacBook Air) than iPadOS-based apps on the iPad. So, my optimum workflow is to have a big screen (50inch with 4K @120Hz) above a MacBook Air, next to an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard, etc. This gives me the ability to control the iPad from the Mac trackpad and use the big screen to share items using shared clipboard. So, the duplication comes in with the two keyboards and trackpads (MBA + iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard). Would ONE DEVICE THAT DOES ALL INCLUDING TOUCH be better? I'm actually not sure as the M1 iPad Pro both looks and feels so much faster than the MacOS based MacBook Air (sitting next to it) AND the iPad also gives me a useful second screen that I find very helpful. My argument is based upon the CURRENT SOFTWARE CAPABILITIES. If iPadOS were able to be run side-by-side on the same machine as macOS (perhaps, in a separate partition, or even in a high performing Virtual Machine) AND NOT SLOW DOWN the current version of iPadOS, I think that would be great. But, compromising the current version of iPadOS (i.e. slowing down the user experience by adding more weight and heft to the codebase in order to look and act more like macOS), that would be undesirable, in my view.

Hi, currently have a 2013 iMac 27" (on my left) and a 2015 iMac 5K 27" (straight ahead). I often 'connect' the 2013 iMac in TDM to use both screens together. My new job will force me to have a 'locked down' windows laptop (13" or 15") - likely to be placed on the right side of my desk. 1). I really want to be able to connect this 'locked down' windows laptop to my 5K iMac. Allowing me to switch between remote working and personal / home use. 2). And still be able to use the 2013 iMac in TDM to use both screens together. Being able to use speakers, webcam, mac wireless keyboard and mac trackpad. If that is not possible. 3). Could I replace the 2013 iMac with a Apple Studio Display (straight ahead) and still be able to connect both the iMac 5K (moved to the left) and this 'locked down' windows laptop to the Apple Studio Display. Any help would be really useful.
@ConstantGeekery6 күн бұрын
If I’ve understood correctly, you want to connect both a 2015 5K iMac and a Windows laptop to a Studio Display - presumably so you can easily switch between the two? The Studio Display has a single input, so this would require swapping the cables. The Windows laptop will need to have DisplayPort over USB-C support. The 2015 5K iMac is not officially supported, since it is equipped with Thunderbolt 2, not Thunderbolt 3. You likely can connect using Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, and a TB2 cable, however you might find you are limited by GPU in the iMac. Can it run two 5K displays? 5K resolution is a huge amount of pixels (almost 80% more than 4K) and is pretty demanding. You might find it only works at 4K resolution. Another problem you will face is when the Studio Display needs an update - it can only be updated by an officially supported Mac, and I’ve heard tales of the display becoming unusable in that scenario.

That's 20 PCIe lanes to start with + GPU, Audio/Video Capture and 10GbE. This sees me looking at high end MB and CPU. Generally, one cannot experience any real world speed performance, because they are already ridiculously fast.

It depends on the workflow and how disk performance may be constrained by other factors. Outside of file copies, and with latest gen hardware, I’d say that once you get above ~3GB/sec the performance gains are less noticeable. That’s just my experience and your mileage may vary.

Would love to see this compared to the Macs, which also have RAID built into the operating system.
at what read/write speed do you reckon the diminishing returns ought to start manifesting itself?
It depends on the workflow and how disk performance may be constrained by other factors. Outside of file copies, and with latest gen hardware, I’d say that once you get above ~3GB/sec the performance gains are less noticeable. That’s just my experience and your mileage may vary.
so it cannot be used as ram :>>
Fiiiiiiirst
louis rossmann put out a video explaining why this is extremely bad, you should go watch that (hint: the bios is on the fucking NAND flash)
Always update RAM. 8gb is too low
It already has failed. And thankfully it was replaceable in my 2015 MacBook Air. It was dead after 6 years of use and 1-2 years just laying on the shelf. Some people will say "it was past its lifetime anyway". I disagree. That's for the owner to decide, not anybody else. I'm squeezing out a few more years for simple tasks and am quite happy with that. If my $3500 M1 dies after 6 years like that … it'll be my last Apple laptop, that's for sure.
You don't know my cousin... She kept her laptop for 10 years
if it's gonna be in a 6.1 I guess it won't be any faster though
