Really wishing Apple would release a 32 GB model. After virtualization lands, I would jump onboard in a heartbeat. I have 16 GB right now, but I have to delegate important experiments to a server which is annoying.



It is expected that next year they will release their M2 chip to support the 14/16" MacBook Pro and iMac.

And then likely 2022 we see the M3 chip for the Mac Pro, Mac mini Pro and iMac Pro.


I would expect them to do so, but there is another solution: you can use a remote desktop on a beefy server and run your programs there and then use it from a nice portable machine.

I think Mac has their own, but I use NoMachine and it basically just works and can work with different client and server OSes. On the client side it is just video decoding so it is not very demanding - and it uses less bandwidth than I would think.


Virtualization is already here; Docker and QEMU have been in testing for a little while.


Apple is ten times better at planning future generation hardware than all other counter part, I believe they are already planning for much bigger M2 M3 chips. I truly think other will have real hard time catching up with apple on performance front anytime soon or ever.


The pro should be out shortly.
