Apple announced an event held on October 18, US time, a new color of Apple Music Voice Plan, HomePods Mini, 3rd generation AirPods, and new MacBook Pro.
Each product has been released, but let's tell the actual feeling of use shortly.
The MacBook Pro has been replaced with a 16 -inch model with a high -performance version of Intel and a 16 -inch model.Until now, the 16 -inch model was equipped with a faster processor and graphics, but it has changed to Apple Silicon, allowing M1 Pro and M1 Max to select any size.This is a long -awaited update for users who want higher performance with compact notebook products.
新チップ「M1 Pro」と「M1 Max」を搭載した新MacBook Pro。14インチと16インチのモデルがラインアップ。13インチは従来のままM1となるThe M1 PRO model with a GPU with 8 cores or 10 cores and a GPU with 14 cores or 16 cores is up to 32GB of memory.The M1 MAX, which is equipped with a 10 -core CPU and a 24 cores or 32 core GPU, is available up to 64GB of memory.The performance is also a level that exceeds the base model Mac Pro and iMac Pro.
This is a specialty of the processor is Media Engine, which is equipped with one M1 Pro and two M1 MAX.The accelerator that speeds up the video processing is a role like an Apple AfterBurner (220,000 yen option), which has been selected in Mac Pro.When processing videos, etc., not only is it at high speed but also the battery consumption, so you can actively work on video editing in a mobile environment and tasks that have been shunned in terms of performance or battery.
However, it should be noted that the M1 MAX is clearly over -spec, and if you edit a 4K video, it has enough power to have the M1 Pro.
This new model is equipped with a LIQUID RETINA XDR display.Equipped with a mini LED backlight that has already been adopted by the iPad Pro, it has a 1 million -to -one high contrast comparable to an organic EL and a beautiful color unique to the liquid crystal.In addition, PROMOTION, which varies from 24Hz to 120Hz, has been adopted, enabling quick movements such as games while realizing power saving.
The new display is also very attractive, and it should be welcomed that HDR videos taken on iPhone etc. can be more faithful and edited.
The design is renewed, and the power cable that sticks with magnets on the left and right sides is equipped with Magsafe 3, HDMI, SDXC port, etc., and it is no longer necessary to use a conversion connector called a dongle for connection, which has been greatly improved as a user experience.It can be said that it was done.
新「MacBook Pro」をiFixitが分解--修理しやすさは「正しい方向」へ一歩前進(11/01)新しい「MacBook Pro」が登場した今、「iPad Pro」の立ち位置とは(11/02)The 3rd generation AirPods has been added to the bass
AIRPODS, a complete wireless headphone that appeared in 2016, is a very small, novel (just removing the cable from the earphones with a cable so far), and the connection that can be set by opening the lid is completed.+ It was a product that thoroughly removed the problem of user experience, such as charging by the battery in the case.
AirPods(第2世代)より33%軸が短くなったIn the third generation, the design was changed, the axis part was shorter than before, making it a size like AirPods Pro.However, there is no silicon chip like PRO model, and the style of fixing near the entrance of the ear is followed as before.
For this reason, the facility is lower than the PRO model, and the direction of differentiation is transparent because the noise canceling function is omitted.However, AirPods is active in situations where noise canceling is not required.At work and home.
Remote work has become a daily life, and AirPods has become useful as an earphone microphone not only to listen to music but also to participate in meetings.In the house, there is no need for noise canceling, but rather only one ear is installed.
The author was procured for such a purpose, but the new AirPods sound quality was a bit difficult for remote work.This is because the bass has come out firmly at a very clear level.
When enjoying music, you can enjoy a fulfilling bass wrapped in warm and gentle bass.However, in the case of listening to the audio of the online conference, if the bass is too effective, it will be difficult to hear.
In that respect, the second generation AirPods may have been "online conference".
