For better performance, you’ll sacrifice battery life.” It even made me question the traditional wisdom, “For better battery life, you’ll sacrifice performance. The battery life is like nothing I have every experienced with any laptop I have owned.

Everything about the machine itself is so responsive. I’ve been astonished to see how much more fluid it is to work with the universal version of FileMaker on Apple silicon M1 MacBook Pro.

As “universal” macOS binaries, they run great on Intel-based Macs, but the big news here is the performance on Apple silicon. Enter FileMaker UniversalĬlaris FileMaker Pro 19.3 and Claris FileMaker Server 19.3 are here.

Even small things can lead us to improving our work, like better comments in our code, new ways to visualize data, improving the user experience, or maybe even experimenting with emoji 👻 to define new import types or simply spice things up and make the comments more fun to read.Ĭertainly, some the most exciting times are when new features come along to improve performance while still achieving the same results…but with much shorter wait times, for users and for developers 👏. I am a big believer that we can always improve upon what we already have, especially as FileMaker itself continues to evolve. The theme of the conference resonated with me: Rethink. Recreate.īack in 2014, I attended my first “Ted” event, TedxBerkeley. Today, I’m running the just-released Claris FileMaker® 19.3, with native support for Apple’s M1 chip, on a new MacBook Pro. On my M1 MacBook Pro, it already felt much faster than running FileMaker “natively” on an Intel-based MacBook…I was astonished. When I finally received my Apple M1 MacBook Pro, and started to use it…I was amazed.īack in 2020, FileMaker Pro 19.2 wasn’t optimized yet for Apple silicon processors, but ran fine under Rosetta emulation. Most of them had great things to say about the promise of Apple’s new M1 chip…I was impressed. When the Apple silicon Macs with M1 chips came out, I read and watched many of the reviews.
