Apple Thread II | AirPods Pros Announced

All without a fan.

I'm sure most people won't give a crap but Apple is going to inevitably lock down their M1 laptops so they can only run apps from the App Store and be unable to sideload anything.

I don't care how fast a computer is. I want the choice to install what K damned well please.

This won't happen.

It is the sort of thing Apple would at least attempt to do before making an about turn due to user feedback.

These new laptops do look very slick but I do still worry I won't be able to install a new torrent app of whatever in a few years time.

As Maf said, this really won’t happen.

The new Macbook Air and Pro M1 has had a price cut at Amazon already: the 256GB SSD option is down to £949.97, 512GB option £1,149.97. Waiting list of up to 1 to 2 months on some though.

Pro 256GB is £1,249.97.

I signed up for Apple One on the day it started (the 30th of October) but today I have been charged £9.99 again for Apple Music, I would imagine the same thing has happened to everyone else depending on when there Music subscription is due to renew

It's a rare example of a 1st gen Apple product knocking it out the park.

Yep. I can't wait to see if and when they produce a rumoured 14 inch MacBook Pro that is powerful enough to do everything!

I got a student discount on my order, otherwise I would have been miffed to order and then see a significant price cut!

Does anyone here have Apple TV? Are there many original shows on there worth watching?

I'm planning to watch Mythic Quest, and binged through Ted Lasso this weekend (which I loved). Just wondering if there's much else on there worth watching or whether to cancel my trial once I'm done with Mythic Quest.

I enjoyed quite a few shows. Stand out for me was Servant, See, Tehran, The Morning Show, Mythic Quest, Trying, Defending Jacob and definitely Ted Lasso.
Home before Dark, Truth Be Told and Home Before Dark were okay.
Greyhound, The Banker, On The Rocks were enjoyable.

I'd probably give it a go for a month and depending on how much TV you watch you'll probably have enough there to keep you busy.

Just remember I got a year trial of Apple TV with my iPad Air that I was waiting to redeem till I got a PS5 since that has the app. Mythic Quest is apparently really good. Quite fancy the look of that alternate history space race one too.

I really liked Servant, I can’t think of anything else I have watched on there

Cool, thanks for the recommendations I'll check some of these out. Servant looks quite interesting so I'm tempted to give that a go.
