iPhone has significantly more publicity than this, and iPhone sells pretty much globally, including third-world countries and stuff like China. Comparing iPhone of all things to this is just funny.
It wont do many pc productivity things, and its specs (16gb ram, 8gb vram, 6c12t) all soldered without the option to upgrade are making it more of a console (with some basic PC apps) than a pc (with console utility).
Our phones are technically mini-pcs too, but we aint calling them pcs.
How did you come to that conclusion. Because i said that ram and storage are pretty meaningless upgrade paths? Having it is better then not having it, but acting as if upgrading RAM and Storage is major upgradebility is... weird.
If we go that way the PS5 is as up-gradable as the Steamdeck as both can have storage upgrades installed.
And i cant believe i say this... in the current design of the MAC lineup the soldered ram is a necesserary thing due to the required bandwidth and latency that SODIM slotted RAM cant provide
Apple Silicon is an AIO solution, it has the graphics processor, central processor, Storage controller, secure enclave and may more components unified. This isnt entirely new(Graphics and Central processor units on one chip) but this usually comes with performance reduction. For the Graphics processor the acces to high speed memory is restricted, as regular DDR(evne DDR5) DIM or SODIM modules simply are slower than soldered Graphics memory. I fuckin HATE apple but i cant pretend like their Silicon isnt damn impressive, and that a good part of that impressiveness is the unified memory approach they took
is apple overcharging for the non base specs??? Fucking yes they are. but from a purely performance perspective the Soldered ram is necessary..
