Daily Picks — Apple's new MacBook "doesn't change the soup without changing the medicine"; the president of Nintendo said he didn't understand the metaverse

According to foreign media MacRumors, there are reliable sources who say that Apple will release a 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro next month, and the appearance remains unchanged.

The source said that the upcoming 13-inch MacBook Pro retains the same design as the old model, still equipped with touch Bar, will not upgrade to the bangs or ProMotion screen, only upgrade M1 to M2, the chip CPU and M1 chip to maintain the same 8 cores, GPU up to 10 cores.

According to Bloomberg, Apple plans to launch at least one new Mac this spring, but it's unclear whether the Mac will launch at the launch, which could be a high-end Mac mini with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, and it is not expected to launch a 27-inch iMac with Apple's self-developed chips until August or September.

For now, the production capacity of Apple's new MacBook Pro is still tight, and it is a wise choice to make a fuss about the old mold, which can temporarily meet the needs of some consumers. But if the supply of the new MacBook Pro does not improve in the second quarter of 2022, then the planning of subsequent Mac products may be affected, and Apple's self-developed chip Mac road will also encounter a little obstacle.

In fact, I am also very interested in this concept, but at present, it seems that it does not fit with Nintendo's plan.

He believes that at this stage, we have no way to clearly define the form of the metaverse, nor can we figure out what kind of surprises and fun the metaverse will bring to users. As a company that provides entertainment projects, it is the most important thing for Nintendo to surprise and have fun for players.

As a game company, Nintendo is essentially closer to this concept than those that advertise meta-universes, but for Nintendo itself, the continuous launch of excellent games is the foundation of its foundation.
