Used sales of 2013 Mac Pro are still strong. Why would anyone consider such an old machine in 2021? Surely the M1 Macs make a much better choice?
Yes, and no. In this video I share my thoughts on where the 2013 Mac Pro 6,1 Trashcan still has something to offer, and where the more modern Apple M1 machines make more sense.

Since Apple put a single 256GB NAND flash chip in the base M2 MacBook Air, many have wondered if they would do the same to the base M1 MacBook Air, which is still being produced. Have supply chain issues caused this decision in the M2 and if so, will the same issues affect the M1 model? A single chip runs slower than two in parallel, so we'd like to know if the M1 version of the Air still has a faster SSD in the base configuration.

#ExternalSSD #Thunderbolt3 #DiskSpeedTest
How fast is an external Thunderbolt 3 SSD? How does it compare to the internal SSD on a MacBook Pro, or to a USB-C drive?
I test the WAVLINK UTE02 Thunderbolt 3 enclosure with a Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD.
Products were purchased with my own money and my opinions are my own.

Apple's M1 iPad Air has considerably more raw performance than Samsung's Galaxy Tab S8... but does that performance gap actually matter in the real world? In this video, we take a look at the benchmarks and draw some real-use comparisons.
