I haven't used windows in ages so not going to comment on that. Fast, beautiful, pleasure to use, runs cool, great battery, great screen, amazing touchpad, and they even fixed the keyboard (took them a while). I use it to run a browser + misc development tools. Anything to do with widgets, i* apps made by Apple, ios integration (I have an Android phone), etc. The last few releases basically featured a whole bunch of things I neither care about nor use. IMHO it's not getting better over the years I've used it. It is, after all, just ARM64/AArch64 under the hood. NVIDIA glomming onto Asahi and giving it formal support instead of going their own way with L4T/Jetson Linux would be an interesting course of events. Mac Pro is the only option for a PCIe card that Apple won't sign a driver kext for (NVIDIA cards, for example - and they do have an aarch64 driver thanks to the Tegra family!). Since Asahi doesn't support Thunderbolt yet, you can't use enclosures on Studio. Gotta say the other day I was thinking about the Mac Pro and even at only 192GB of memory, 20P/4E with some Optane SSDs and some flash behind it would absolutely tear through postgres workloads, I bet.Įveryone is dumping on Mac Pro for regressing on memory capacity (after spending the last 2 years dumping on the "$50k mac" and comparing it against Threadripper builds that top out at 256GB), and asking why Mac Pro instead of Studio. Thunderbolt not working is kind of a deal killer, for example. And honestly, for laptops, the answer so far is probably still "not". It’s just a question of whether it’s good enough for you or not. As long as Martin and others are willing to keep running the project there’s work to be done.
And there will always be more generations of hardware. Ideally, Asahi would never be finished any more than Debian is.
