? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

Mac fans won’t want to miss the tech giant’s “Scary Fast” prime time (in the USA…) event — if they can stay awake long enough. The livestream will be airing at 8pm Eastern time / 5pm Pacific — which is 2am tomorrow here in Cairo. Most pundits expect M3 processors to roll out to existing products, offering plenty in the way of performance improvements, but no new products.

Look for M3, M3 Pro and M3 Ultra processors to make their debut. If you’re not running compute-intensive tasks — think rendering video, modeling, high-end games — then most of us can get away with the M2 or M3 tiers (no adjectives) for email, web browsing, photo editing and the like.

We’d be surprised if they don’t unveil M3 processors. While M2 chips are still fresh out of the foundry, we expect that Apple is playing catchup with recent advances by Intel and Qualcomm. Expect M3 chips to appear in refreshed 14- and 16- inch MacBook Pros.

What we’re hoping for- The iMacs are due for an update, and we’re crossing our fingers that it will include the much-awaited 27-inch iMac.

WHERE TO WATCH- Night owls can tune into the event on Apple’s YouTube channel or on their events page. Both will be available to play again tomorrow.
