It seem Apple plan to do something in the near future about Game Console (or maybe AR/VR) by reduce the price of Apple TV and Mac mini.

Can I upgrade my MacBook Pro 13 inch 2018 i5 8/256 Gb Touch Bar
To
MacBook Air M2 16/512 ?
For performance & display with battery?

Yes, but your getting pretty close to the base model m1 pro /M2 pro 14 in

I have used Intel and M1 Air. The m series is far better. You’ll notice and sorry appreciate the thermal and energy efficiency more than the performance with M2 than any thing else.
Given the performance of m series, you’ll also get that asking with the cooler operating temperature and insane battery life.

What about the fan in Mini? Works like in mini M1 (only on heavy load) or like in Studio (non-stop)?
pete helme
January 23, 2023 at 6:56 pm
Yeah, this is what I’m waiting to hear. What happens if you really push the M2 Pro in the Mac Mini case, does it sound like the i7 version if the fans ramp up?

I find it crazy that even with a PRO chip, the internals of the Mac Mini is still using half the space of the chassis.

I hope is as silent as my mac mini m1, that thing is so sublime when you don’t hear a peep, a thing that my PC can’t match even at IDLE
Garrus Vakarian
January 24, 2023 at 1:46 am
@Dark my PC is just as quiet, you set the fan curve for your CPU fan and limit the max power (150W usually), buy a power supply with zero rpm fan mode, it really isn’t that hard
Dark
January 24, 2023 at 6:06 am
@Garrus Vakarian same story, you have to use a mac mini to know what I’m talking about
Garrus Vakarian
January 24, 2023 at 6:34 am
@Dark you can make your PC silent if you want to, that’s all I’m saying
Ashley Paul
January 24, 2023 at 4:38 pm
@Garrus Vakarian Even small form factor builds are like 10 times the size of a Mac mini. A Mac mini with its built in power supply occupies less space than a lot of gaming laptops, which tend to have massive power bricks. The few PCs that are actually compact, like Minisforum minis or Alienware X series laptops, sound like leaf blowers when doing real work. It’s easy to build a silent computer when you have that much space. Only Mac mini gives you small size, basically silent operation even at high load, and very good performance for most things. You can get some of those things in PCs, but not all.
Garrus Vakarian
January 24, 2023 at 11:12 pm
@Ashley Paul It’s not hard to have a silent pc like the Mac Mini. Just buy the Noctua L9 cooler and set a wattage limit. Works great. I build them all the time. The problem is the shortages killed the mini ITX market.

This is great and all. But when will Apple include the M chip on their iPhone line up along with things like USB-C, Mini LED display, finger print reader on the power button, under display camera, etc? At the least they should do it on their Pro and Pro Max line of iPhones.

@Ginkgo Biloba An iPhone with the M2, USB-C, and a dock, that would be sweet.

I love the fact that when the M1 chips were released three years ago, the press was all over themselves about how capable the machines were, demonstrating how you could do multi-layered 4k video editing with ease and easily replacing big laptops. Now that the updated M2 version has been released, they tell you that you can barely use these machines for podcasts, reading e-mail, and some light surfing. You are instead being told to spend twice the amount for pro-versions of the machines if you want to get any serious work done at all.
Wtf happened?
Ashley Paul

Most reviewers are in video production. In 2020, many people were still on 1080P and the people that used ultra high def often struggled to do anything with it. When groundbreaking cameras like the Canon R5 and Sony A7S III (which basically came to dominate YouTube) came out, their highest-quality video files barely played on most computers. CPUs in 2020 were far behind the newest video workflows. The M1 came out with some of the highest single-core performance we had ever seen on a desktop CPU, and the media engine could handle all those 10-bit 4:2:2 HVEC files. Eventually, the nVidia RTX 30 series and new generation Intel/AMD came out, and Windows could handle those files, too, though much less efficiently in terms of power. Regardless, people upgraded their cameras and upped their production quality and wanted to use the highest quality files, and affordable computers like the M1 mini made ultra high def editing performance accessible to many. In 2023, many more YouTube channels upload in 4K, and the overall video production quality has gone way up, and some even use 6K, 8K, and 12K during production. Channels with 500 subscribers today often have better video quality than top channels from early 2020. It’s 2023 now, and the workload has increased, and so has the level of performance from competitors, though even today, nobody else really strikes that balance of affordability, efficiency, and performance. Workloads other than video haven’t changed as much in the last three years. Pro audio resolution hasn’t changed for like 10 years, for instance. All this is a very video-centric viewpoint, but that’s what YouTube reviewers will tend to offer. That said, you’ll notice that reviewers are relatively tepid about the jump in performance between 2021 and 2022/23, and that’s probably because video workloads increase in big jumps, and we’ll probably remain at 4K for streaming video for the next 5+ years, if not more.

@Ashley Paul What an awesome answer to a great question! The only thing that I am left wondering is whether or not it’s become increasingly valueless to upload 4K video to YouTube: their video encoding process has supposedly become much more difficult to bypass, and I’m sure it’s very selective with channel type / popularity. Perhaps channels willing to upload in 4K have simultaneously become popular enough in Google’s eyes to be allowed less compression — in turn, leading to more properly encoded 4K videos on YouTube(?)
Ashley Paul
January 24, 2023 at 4:30 pm
@ICan’tGiveCredit while few people watch in 4K, it’s become a standard to record and edit in it. Even if you watch in 1080P, you still get better quality by uploading in 4K.

@Ashley Paul Thank you, I appreciate your detailed and thoughtful response.
It is surprising to me that individuals who primarily produce YouTube content may not consider their own biases when providing recommendations to a broader audience. If this is the reason behind the recent shift in how Mac computers are being reviewed and recommended, then we have a problem. One issue is that this group of users, who I contend do not accurately represent the typical Mac user, unduly influence the priorities of chip designers. Lack of hardware support for ray-tracing may be an example of this.
It is important to note that Apple closely works with these reviewers, providing them with early access to their products. This effectively creates a feedback loop. Additionally, it is worth considering that the capabilities of computers also influence what we expect from them and how they are used. If computers are primarily geared towards video/camera production, fewer people may explore other domains of creative work, such as 3D modeling, rendering, and VFX.
It is important for reviewers to be aware of their own biases and to broaden their perspective on what computers can be used for.
