You’ll have to wait until 3rd parties do those comparisons?

Apple has literally never posted “here’s a ream of benchmarks vs the Dell XPS XYZ and HP modelnumbersneeze738462” — pretending this is indicative of some grand conspiracy to hide performance deficiencies of these new M2 models the way GP is, is silly.



Realistically it’s expected it will perform relative to competitors now as the old models did in the past.

More realistically, this is one of the more drab ways apple announces products. They didn’t even have a presentation or anything. So they’re clearly not marketing with the same goals in mind as a presentation. I’d say the intended audience here are people already going to buy the latest model because they’re in the apple ecosystem.

Not that I’m inclined to defend a multi trillion dollar company, of course. It’s just pithy to hop into this sort of thread and grind the old axe against apple.


No but look what they did for the M1 press release:

They talk all about how it's faster than 98% of PC laptops sold. When they are in the lead or feel they are then they do.
