海外TECH Engadget The Mac turns 40: How Apple Silicon cured its midlife crisis https://www.engadget.com/the-mac-turns-40-how-apple-silicon-cured-its-midlife-crisis-161520642.html?src=rss The Mac formerly the more austere Macintosh turns today putting Apple s longest running product squarely in middle age But like someone who sees the back half of their life approaching and gets in marathon runner shape the Mac is in the strongest place it s been for decades From a revenue perspective Mac sales declined precipitously in but that came on the heels of four years of growth that was likely the product of pent up demand for an improved Mac lineup In Apple finally started delivering on that thanks in large part to Apple Silicon arriving in the Mac ushering in the era we re in now While the Mac was on shaky ground prior to Apple Silicon it would now be pretty silly to suggest the Mac won t make it to its th birthday That wasn t always a given though While the Mac is Apple s oldest product it s also gone through numerous moments where it appeared to be on the brink of irrelevance or complete disaster Through most of the s before CEO Steve Jobs returned to lead the company he had founded the Macintosh was a mess It was too expensive for the power it delivered Apple s product lineup was confusing and cluttered and Windows PCs now had both the GUI and performance to make the Mac a poor choice for most people And even after Jobs returned and introduced the iMac and iBook while revitalizing the Power Mac and Powerbook lines the G and G still lagged behind PCs in most tasks Ironically the move to Intel in helped make the Mac more relevant even as it held Apple back a decade later as the company chased thin and light laptop designs with innovations like the Touch Bar and butterfly keyboard that held it back while letting its power languish But in when the Mac turned it was in a pretty good place Apple had spent the recent years focusing on the iPhone and then the iPad with former CEO Steve Jobs famously comparing PCs to trucks ーan implication that the iPad would be the more mainstream car for most people But at least as far as laptops go the Mac was fairly compelling The MacBook Air had finally become what Jobs had wanted when he pulled it out of an envelope on stage in It was a thin light and reasonably powerful laptop with a reasonable price and the spill over effect from people buying iPods and then iPhones had helped the MacBook Air become ubiquitous in coffee shops and college campuses The MacBook Pro meanwhile was well suited to the creative professional Apple marketed towards with a great screen plenty of ports and enough power for it to be a compelling mobile studio However there were plenty of weak spots in the lineup if you looked closely Perhaps the most obvious was the strange saga of the Mac Pro For years Apple s tower style computer had gotten more and more expensive clearly priced out of the range of most consumers That wasn t a bad thing on its own but Apple failed to recognize what its target market was looking for when it released the cylindrical Mac Pro redesign in ーand then failed to meaningfully upgrade it for years Between the lack of updates and a design that limited expandability the Mac Pro was a bit of a joke in Apple s lineup for the better part of a decade Apple then made a similarly disastrous change to the MacBook Pro in Let us count the ways Apple dropped the ball with this generation of laptops First the unreliable butterfly keyboard which existed seemingly only so Apple could make these laptops as thin and light as possible Then there was the removal of useful ports like HDMI USB A and an SD card slot in favor of just four USB C Thunderbolt ports one of which was needed for charging There s also the Touch Bar a thin OLED strip on the keyboard that dynamically changed depending on what app you were using A neat idea though one that failed to gain much traction with developers or end users and the lack of a physical escape key baffled users for years to come Finally while Apple managed to make the and inch MacBook Pro models much thinner and lighter than their predecessors it came at a performance cost Plenty of users experienced overheating and CPU throttling as if the extremely thin enclosure combined with the powerful chips was a bad combo Meanwhile the venerable MacBook Air was left to languish for years with minor updates and a design and low resolution screen that were quickly becoming uncompetitive The iMac and Mac mini chugged along as solid options for users looking for a desktop machine but picking a Mac laptop at the time was an exercise in compromise and paying for something that probably did not check all the boxes Things showed signs of turning around in when Apple introduced a new tower style Mac Pro with increased expansion options But more significantly Apple reversed course on the terrible butterfly keyboard and brought back scissor style keys to the MacBook Pro and a few months later the MacBook Air which had since been updated with a Retina display and more current Intel processors Amazingly enough Apple made the revamped inch MacBook Pro thicker and heavier than the one it replaced something that showed the company was moving away from thinner and lighter at all costs especially in products like this where it just didn t make sense to chase a smaller form factor at the expense of performance However the Mac really rebounded in late when Apple released the first Macs running on the company s own custom silicon Apple had been designing chips for years ever since the A first arrived in the iPhone and original iPad in and the combo of efficiency and power the company had hit on had proven to be a big advantage for the company And the first round of Macs running Apple Silicon included some of Apple s most popular models like the MacBook Air and inch MacBook Pro The improvements were immediately obvious ーwhen we reviewed it we said the M powered MacBook Air redefines what an ultraportable can be The combo of huge performance gains alongside wildly impressive battery life made the MacBook Air a no brainer Meanwhile the Mac mini provided a ton of bang for the buck if you were looking for an inexpensive desktop computer The next big move for the Mac came in late when Apple fully fixed the MacBook Pro issues it introduced with the model The totally redesigned and inch MacBook Pro models brought back a lot of the ports that Apple initially removed banished the Touch Bar and utilized new M Pro and M Max chips that boosted the multicore performance of these laptops far beyond their Intel based predecessors The last major piece of the puzzle came into place in March of when Apple introduced the Mac Studio While the Mac Pro lingered on with Intel chips the new Mac Studio represented a middle ground between the Pro and mini The model included the M Max chip which you can also get in a MacBook Pro if you were willing to pony up the cash but the model basically strapped two of those chips together to make the M Ultra That monster processor had up to GPU cores while the M Ultra that replaced it lets you get up to a core GPU to go along with its core CPU and core Neural Engine for machine learning tasks Plain and simple it s the kind of power Apple hadn t offered in its computers for a long time Since Apple has mostly been in a refine upgrade and iterate mode with many Macs moving on to the M architecture But there are a few places that could still use an overhaul ーthe Mac Pro moved to Apple Silicon late in the transition to these new chips only arriving this past June And while it has an expandable tower style case it runs the same M Ultra that you can get in the Mac Studio but costs a whopping more There s a pretty big opportunity for Apple to put in an even higher end workstation class ーmaybe it can just bolt two of the M Ultras that are surely coming together to further separate the Mac Pro from the Studio On a more consumer focused level Apple has recently made another stab at making Mac gaming a thing with the company bringing popular mainstream titles like Death Stranding and Resident Evil to the platform But the company still isn t in the same realm of gaming on Windows despite the massive power Apple Silicon offers If the company can figure out a way to make porting games easier developers could have a whole new market to sell to ーand Apple would have another feather in its cap If the company has any ambitions of really pushing past PCs the way the iPad came to dominate the tablet market they ll need to push even harder to get big games on the Mac And of course we re just a week away from Apple releasing its first new platform in almost a decade the Vision Pro While it s launching as a wildly expensive standalone device it s not hard to imagine the market expanding if the form factor catches on If that happens we might see a Vision device that runs Mac apps natively instead of just viewing them Apple has long held the belief that its platforms should stand on their own though ーwitness the futile calls for a touchscreen Mac or a version of MacOS for the iPad Pro But in this case maybe we ll be talking in years about how spatial computing was the next thing to move the Mac forward This article originally appeared on Engadget at

海外TECH Engadget Audio-Technica ATH-TWX7 review: Good earbuds with frustrating flaws https://www.engadget.com/audio-technica-ath-twx7-review-good-earbuds-with-frustrating-flaws-160054450.html?src=rss I ve come to expect certain things from Audio Technica earbuds and headphones First there s the company s warm soothing sound profile that s easy to listen to for hours at a time It s usually good but not necessarily great though the company typically combines it with a solid overall experience thanks to features and performance That all holds true on the ATH TWX a set of wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation ANC and a host of handy tools that rival more expensive competitors Some work better than others but the company has done well over the years to expand its capabilities even though the ATH TWX lacks one basic item DesignDespite their stickbud appearance the ATH TWX looks more refined than most similarly priced earbuds Audio Technica opted for a mix of black and silver or white silver or gray silver that makes the earbuds look similar to high end headphones The main housing is quite small which translated to a more comfortable fit in my ears The case also has a unique teardrop shape that allows the earbuds to sit at an angle rather than standing up or laying completely flat while charging There s no real benefit here but it is a departure from the norm worth pointing out Audio Technica did something for the onboard controls on the ATH TWX that s rare in earbuds It uses both touch and physical buttons for playback calls sound modes and to summon a voice assistant Typically you see this on headphones where the playback controls are touch and the noise cancellation and transparency modes are assigned to a button but I don t recall seeing both on earbuds like this before Granted I ve been reviewing audio gear for several years at this point so I hesitate to proclaim Audio Technica as the first to do so To help you find the ideal fit Audio Technica includes two different types of ear tips One is labeled soft and it s designed to be more comfortable while the standard option is meant to offer a more secure fit I expected the soft version to be foam or at least partially foam but they re almost identical One is slightly thinner but they both seem to be the same silicone material you see in most earbuds and neither really feels softer than the other The last thing I ll point out in terms of the ATH TWX s design is its ingress protection IP rating These are only rated IPX against water splashes and they re not built to withstand spray jets or submersion That s probably enough for workouts and while it s about average for mid range earbuds slightly more expensive models venture into IPX territory Software and featuresPhoto by Billy Steele EngadgetWhen I reviewed the ATH CKSTW earbuds in late Audio Technica s app was so limited there was really no reason to ever fire it up Unless it was to install a firmware update it didn t offer anything useful and even the onboard control customization was restricted I m happy to report that s no longer the case as the A T Connect software now offers a much more robust list of settings and reconfigurable tools than before The app s home screen is devoted to options for changing the music codec EQ and sound mode as well as showing the battery life for each earbud Tapping the image of the ATH TWX takes you into the detailed settings divided into Audio and System sections All of this is standard fare with access to everything the onboard controls offer in the app including the ability to remap the touch and physical buttons as you wish But despite letting you set an automatic power off timer when there s no audio the ATH TWX doesn t have automatic pausing when you take them out of your ears That s a big omission in when almost every set of wireless earbuds does this I will point out a couple of things that are pretty novel First under the Call Microphone settings Audio Technica goes a step further with an in app call test so you can hear what you ll sound like before you dial This is in addition to features like Natural Mode for quiet locations or Noise Reduction Mode for windy or loud environments The latter isn t very original but will still come in handy You can disable the touch controls and just rely on the tiny physical buttons on the earbuds What is a bit innovative is the ability to tweak the sensitivity of those panels set to medium by default with low and high options if you need em The inclusion of both touch and physical buttons gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of how you set those up Everything on the ATH TWX is reconfigurable which means you can move things from the buttons to the touch panels and vice versa or add things that aren t there by default In addition to options for playback calls voice assistant and noise cancellation settings you can add Talk Through Low Latency Mode and Check Battery Level Audio Technica didn t reinvent the wheel in terms of what these earbuds can do but the greater customization gives you way more options for assigning tasks in a way that makes the most sense for you Sound quality and noise cancellationPhoto by Billy Steele EngadgetNearly every set of Audio Technica earbuds and headphones I ve ever tested has a similar sound profile It s a warm inviting tone that s pleasant to listen to for hours on end mostly because the dynamics aren t exhausting The ATH TWX is more of the same for better or worse with some exceptions Softer acoustic driven styles are excellent with crisp details in drums and guitars that lend texture to tracks like Zach Bryan s Heavy Eyes and Charles Wesley Godwin s Family Ties The ATH TWX also does well with jazz and synth heavy pop rock and instrumental tunes Hip hop is nice as well but the earbuds start to struggle with hard rock metal and more chaotic bombastic genres Better Lovers Under is still the gritty raucous hardcore I know and love but everything sounds flat and has less energy than on other earbuds The sound on this album and other metal selections like Gojira s Fortitude is more compressed than with other genres with less space for everything to open up especially guitars that typically soar around in your head Like a lot of ANC earbuds the active noise cancellation on the ATH TWX does well with constant noise but struggles with things like human voices This model had no trouble combatting the roar of the noisy heating unit in my Las Vegas hotel during CES and the same goes for white noise machines and fans at home It s not Bose level sound blocking but it s definitely above average Sound quality in Hear Through or transparency mode is also quite good There s a nice natural element to it that doesn t seem as compressed or muted as some of the competition However the ATH TWX doesn t pipe in your voice like the AirPods Pro so the overall effect isn t as if you aren t wearing earbuds at all I assumed the Talk Through feature would assist with this but instead that tool simply lowers the volume or mutes content Confusingly despite offering two options to let in your surrounding sound this tool doesn t let you simply pause It s Hear Through adjacent rather than a truly helpful setting for a quick chat Because your voice isn t beamed back to your ears you ll still feel the need to speak up which means you re more likely to get shouty if you aren t careful Call qualityProps to Audio Technica for the easiest way to check call performance ever on the ATH TWX Thanks to that in app call test you can get an idea of how you ll sound before answering or dialing in which is way better than hoping you sound okay to your caller I also found this helpful in assessing which setting worked best for where I was at the time even if I was at home Noise Reduction Mode lives up to its name but it also sacrifices some voice quality Natural mode sounds the best but it picks up background noise easily If you re in a quiet spot though the ATH TWX gives you above average voice performance that s noticeably clearer than the typical speakerphone like quality most earbuds offer The ATH TWX also seems to struggle a bit with automatic switching via multipoint Bluetooth but only when it comes to calls If I was hopping from my phone to my laptop for music or some other audio the changeover was quick and seamless However if I was listening to something on my MacBook Pro and got a call there were a few times the earbuds had trouble swapping over to it Since this is the most likely scenario in which I d need that auto switching this was disappointing Best case scenario was for me to tap to change the audio from my iPhone to the ATH TWX after answering but that s not really an ideal workflow Battery lifePhoto by Billy Steele EngadgetAudio Technica promised up to hours on the earbuds themselves with two additional charges in the case It doesn t specify if that s with ANC on or off but during my tests I had no trouble hitting the stated figure while blocking background noise That s doing a mix of music and calls with the occasional few minutes of Hear Through mode and leaving the ATH TWX to automatically turn off twice I could reliably eke out minutes more than the company claimed and a few minutes extra is always a good thing The competitionIn the price range an apt comparison for the ATH TWX are Sony s LinkBuds S An honorable mention on our best wireless earbuds list these have similar battery life and the same IPX rating but are more comfortable to wear and have some trademark Sony features Those include support for DSEE Extreme upscaling in addition to Quick Attention Mode that s handy for quick chats in the office coffee shop or airport What s more the LinkBuds S can automatically pause when you speak and an adaptive sound mode can be configured to change settings based on activity or location Plus they re available for at full price iPhone owners will be more satisfied with the second gen AirPods Pro over the ATH TWX Currently available for under the version of the earbuds are the best option if your life is intertwined with iOS iPadOS and macOS New features like Adaptive Audio bring automatic adjustments to your day and Apple s take on transparency mode continues to be the best in the business Lastly they re more comfortable for a longer period of time than the ATH TWX Wrap upThere s plenty to like about the ATH TWX A robust set of features brings a lot of convenience to your day But a few of those tools could still use some fine tuning and the lack of automatic pausing in is a head scratcher Still the audio is mostly good albeit inconsistent at times and transparency mode is better than most Add in the solid call quality and the in app voice test and the ATH TWX are a worthy consideration especially at this price Too bad it falls short of being a more complete package some of the competition offers for a slightly larger investment This article originally appeared on Engadget at 2024-01-24 16:00:54
