    You can install Linux on them, so they win in the OS department in my opinion.

      You actually cannot, or on any M4 hardware yet. I think the furthest people have gotten so far is a basic bootloader, but I haven’t seen any recent upstream updates from Asahi on this.

      Looks like somebody made a bit of clever work to get around the SPTM problem though: https://github.com/rusch95/asahi_neo

        I think they meant on these neo competitors, you could install Linux, which they thinks is better than macOS.

        I have a MacBook Pro and agree. I just wish I could get iMessage on Linux for my family that can’t / won’t change to signal or similar.

          I recall there was a kid who managed to reverse engineer the iMessage protocol for this purpose. He was successful, but Apple patched over the ability to do it.

      Cant wait to see if Erying get some ES boards on the market from this generation.

      My 13th gen Erying ES board is an absolute champion, I’d love to retire my power hungry 9th gen 9900k file / media server with something more capable in the iGPU department.
