Reddit engineer Jameson Williams posted on Reddit’s engineering blog how the new MacBook Pro models could save the company a lot of money.
Williams expounded on his original tweet that fully-loaded MacBook Pro units can save the company time and money, saying that the new machines could make a big difference. He starts by saying that Android engineers can save around 22 minutes each day in terms of build time by shifting from a 2019 Intel i9 MacBook Pro to the new model, and that the average per-hour cost of an engineer is somewhere around $150.
He then went on about the costs of outfitting a team of nine engineers with the M1 Max MacBook at around $31.5k, and how it would be recouped after three months’ time.
The M1 Max MacBook Pro is quickly becoming the go-to device for companies, including Twitter and Uber, thanks to its new M1 Max Pro chips for better performance.
