Thats nothing, an iphone plugged into a Tesla car has 5 years of battery.

well, if you want to go down that rabbit hole, the PC also has benefits like being upgradable

Yeah I'm not arguing with what you did, Im just saying that changing it to be similar to the mac mini would yield a similar price to the mac mini.

But if we work down from your build-

• 16gb ram instead of 64: $225 less
• 650w psu instead of 1000w: $50 less
• normal case instead of rack mount: $50 less?
• dual tower cooler from a cheaper brand: $40 less

Now your build is suddenly around 1.3k rather than 1.7k. also I'm pretty sure you can get a 7950x for close to 7900x's launch price nowadays.

Then there's CPU cooler, case and power supply. Hmm, perhaps it's just slightly too much to fit in the $1299 budget.

$1299 for the M2 Pro version. I think (?) that's enough to build out a windows system with a top end i9 and midrange graphics.

They peaked at the 7T Pro. I couldn't care less about the selfie camera quality/convenience and only want one for video calls. Give me a phone with a full screen display. Under screen or popup selfie camera doesn't matter, heck even the design that flips over the rear camera is fine too.

Why the heck are these phones so wide.

For me it's quick to touch type on my z fold 2 when unfolded. But with the width of these new folding phones it'd be like typing on a tablet, hard to reach the keys in the middle

Then this is completely opposite to my personal experience as a developer. I can't get my JS game to run at more than 20FPS on a iPhone 13 (2021) at the same NPC count that runs at 90FPS on a OnePlus 7 Pro (2019).

Doesn't matter when JavaScript speeds are slower than even Android phones from years ago so your websites will load slower anyway.

It's just a small pilot test, I would think they would start by testing in one city regardless of how advanced their tech is.

All in one PC with extra steps

Minecraft, oh wait... Mycroft

My old phone is faster than this.
