        • Bal on 24/12/2020 - 23:23

          There is a technical preview of Parallels that can run the Windows 10 ARM technical preview.

      • entropysbane on 20/12/2020 - 22:18

        Not with M1 Arm chips. Might be able to do an Arm version of Linux, but I suspect it would have to be virtual not boot camp. There is apparently some dudes that have a developer version of the unreleased Windows for Arm up and running virtual in Parallels, but not for the faint hearted. Give it some time and there might be options. But not now.

    • joshx on 20/12/2020 - 22:54

      Nah, these are super early for ARM. I would wait a year or two for it to stablise before it would properly work.

  • akula on 20/12/2020 - 20:58

    Dumb question. Are all M1 Chips same ? Do they have any difference in performance in Air or Pro versions ?

    • evatron on 20/12/2020 - 21:03
      +3

      Low specs Airs have 7-core GPU while the rest have 8-core.

      Airs don’t have a fan so you are more likely to have throttling issue for work like video rendering.

    • exc3113nce on 20/12/2020 - 21:09
      +4

      Yeah from what I gathered the differences are:
      1. The MBP has a brighter screen (500nits v 400nits)
      2. The MBP has slightly larger battery and charger
      3. The MBP has active cooling and fan so it is able to perform better for longer sustained tasks (approx 15% better) - where the MBA will throttle to preserve heat (note this will also apply to gaming - some FPS testing shows a 25% drop after 10 mins)
      4. The MBP has one more GPU core which gives about 10% better GPU performance based on testing (but note above fan testing)
      4. The MBP has better quality mic + speakers (from the tests of speakers I've heard the MBP has clearer more defined mids/bass, where as the MBA seems quite trebly and tinny)
      5. The MBP has the touch bar (love/hate relationship for some people)
      6. The MBA is slightly thinner at one end but thicker at the other (the sloped design may be easier to type on depending on desk height) but the MBP is still relatively thin.

      At the 512GB size the price difference is about $300 (or 17%) is it worth it to pay that extra amount? Not sure it's tough and really depends on your usage. If the price gap was say $200 then the MBP would seem a better buy for the slight increase in performance and slight upgrade overall.

        The MBP has the touch bar (love/hate relationship for some people)

        To be precise it's either love or hate, not the proverbial love-hate. Most people I know don't like it, but you have no choice on MBPs.

            @packeteer: Need to tap to a activate (once it switches off when user is inactive), no way to switch off, too easy too accidentaly tap, no feedback/resistance from the "buttons".

            Also can't think of any shortcuts it offers that I haven't already had in the system.

        I see them for sale in the Apple US store, but nothing locally - we seem to be forced to take the 8GB RAM versions.

        • Tardvark on 21/12/2020 - 15:51
          +1

          You need to customize the 8GB model to include 16GB of RAM through the Apple store. To the best of my knowledge you cannot buy a 16GB MBP M1 through retail stores. Though if someone else knows that would be awesome.

          No idea what you're talking about.

          16gb is right there on Aussie Apple store and I'm pretty sure in stores.

    • Kabal on 23/12/2020 - 20:20

      Either from apple.com OR they do stock some higher end configs with 16gb in Apple stores. It's usually just one higher end config per line - for Air its a 16gb ram/1TB drive/8core GPU config.

    Based on the Victorian rule, wouldn't that make xiaomi scooter illegal? (Max speed 25km/h)

    Is my scooter legal?
    If your motorised scooter:

    -is powered by a petrol motor
    -has an electric motor with a maximum power greater than 200 watts
    -has a maximum speed greater than 10 km/h

    then it cannot be legally used on a road or any road related areas, including footpaths, share paths and public areas. The fine for an illegal device is $826. Other penalties may also apply.

    • skido on 20/12/2020 - 22:59

      yes this model is illegal in Victoria but some compliant scooters are legal, hence the "-" in the table

      • foxpants on 21/12/2020 - 11:11

        The National Transport Commission recently presented their recommendations for changes to the Australian Road Rules to all State Transport Ministers. The recommendation is for e-scooters, e-skateboards, e-unicycles etc to be permitted to use footpaths at speeds to 10km/h and suburban roads at speeds up to 25km/h. The recommendation was approved by all ministers and will now be added to the Road Rules. This should happen by May 2021.

        https://www.ntc.gov.au/transport-reform/ntc-projects/Barrier…

        May prove worthwhile editing your post given the hopefully impending legality across the country? $699 for the Pro2 is a great deal.

          while this is great news, they really should be treated the same as bicycles!

          • foxpants on 21/12/2020 - 17:58

            @packeteer: The same like no speed regulation on bike paths / car speed limit on roads? to be fair, from what I've seen, an ace cyclist can do about 45kph on level ground, some of these scooters can double that, the line has to be drawn.

    • paulinspace on 21/12/2020 - 08:49

      10kmh is ridiculous. You just become a menace at that slow a speed. NZ has embraced the hire e-scooters and they have few issues around them, other than vandalism. Theres been a few accidents for sure, but no worse than say pushbikes. Given the environmental benefits of these things taking cars off the road, why not set a reasonable limit at say 25kmh. Enforce an insurance/registration policy and be done with it.

    • zeno on 21/12/2020 - 03:42

      At best, you can get JB HiFi to price match UniDays for the BTO MBP. That’s what I did. Got a MBP 16GB/512GB configuration for $2370 (UniDays pricing is $2371.60, RRP is $2599) and paid with TCN GCs I got for 10% off. The BTOs are not included in the 10% off, and I think they never will be.
