#Macbook pro vega 20 teardown pro
There will always be something better and Apple should be updating pro gear as fast as technologically possible. That Apple is doing so many alternating spec bumps, from 8th Gen to Vega Pro to 9th Gen to Navi, like twice a year lately, probably pisses off a few buyers who worry that what they get won't be the latest for long. Hey, if they can't shrink it you gotta sink it.Ĭombined with the new graphics chips from AMD, and still offloading some of the tasks to the custom T2 silicon inside, and it just tears through Final Cut Pro X and more. Again, I went over the whole thermals thing in last week's explainer, so I won't recapitulate it here.īut, even absent Intel managing to push out 10th generation silicon in time for this release, and hence it using the same 9th generation as last spring's update, it manages to eke out even better performance. So, if over the next couple of months and years proves it to be as reliable as the scissor-switch keyboards of old, then Apple will truly of righted one of their biggest wrong turns of the last decade.
But, like the scissor before it, I don't think anyone is going to actively hate it.
It may not please people obsessed with clickety-clack cherry switches and maximal travel, or people who loved the low travel of the butterfly. Changing that was folly, sheer follow I tell you, and it's terrific to have them back. I do really like the return of the inverted T arrow keys. I seldom use it for anything other than exiting states and dialogs and, for that, the more contextual keys on the Touch Bar are far better UX. I don't really care about the separate escape key. I can't say I like the feeling more than the butterfly but I like it every bit as much. And, after two weeks, mine now says this keyboard is the new normal. It was a bit punchy for me at first and I wasn't used to the extra travel. Now, because I liked the feeling of the butterfly so much, I wasn't actually sure I'd like the new magic scissor as much.
I won't get into why it took Apple so long to make the change here - I did a whole column on that last week that you can go back and watch for the medium-length answer - but I will say I'm super happy they finally did. Factor in those reliability issues and they simply had to go. But, I've also said that because other people just flat out hated the butterflies, and as far as I can tell, no one hated the previous scissors, even without considering reliability issues, they just weren't tenable from a single vendor product.
