The launch event will no doubt have all the buzzword bingo phrases that Cook and his team will love.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 03: Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering Craig. Apple suffered production issues with the new miniLED display earlier in the year, the worldwide silicon chip shortage is impacting every consumer electronics business, and even with Apple’s leverage it can’t escape the fact that the world's supply chains are under pressure. While the launch is expected to happen by the end of this month, there’s no guarantee that Tim Cook is going to follow the iPhone rhythm of launch on Tuesday, pre-order on Friday, and deliver the next Friday. Assuming that your table stakes have been decided and a MacBook is going to be purchased, the bar to moving up the portfolio has been set high.įinally, the indications are that stock on the new laptops will be lower than expected. With an entry-level price of $999, compared to a potential $1799 for the entry-level “high-end” MacBook Pro, there’s a big jump in price. The jump from the current M1 to M1X laptops may be measurable but how impactful will it be on your daily life especially if much of your time is consuming media, working online in the web browser, and powering through office-based apps? Thinking about this in terms of gain against cost, many people will come down on the side of the relatively cheaper MacBook Air. How much would you pay to take away a measurable but not world-changing amount of time off the processing? Even prosumer creators of multimedia have found the gains in the production line have been huge. The performance of Apple’s ARM chips reduce the need for ‘get the biggest number for future proofing’. There will be a small subset of users that will need all the power that Apple will offer with the presumptively named M1X chip.
