I hope their claims are true, because I'm sick of the duopoly in desktop CPUs.

On the bright side, ARM is getting there, plus there is RISC-V that is rising as well, but it still has some road ahead.

True. The M1 chip ruined all other laptops for me

It’s pretty crazy how my wife’s m1 air does. It’s the most powerful computer in our house and that’s saying something. As I have a somewhat recent computers.

I’m picking up an air once the base air has 16gb ram and 512 storage. Hopefully the next model will finally make this change.

Before anyone comments that 8gb is enough. I’m regularly using 10-11gb of ram while working in windows.

Yeah the moment I can get a Linux ARM laptop I don't think I'll ever need to upgrade again. The magic that Apple worked was incredible and I can't wait to see how people build on it.

The M1 chips are the first true laptops that I can actually use on my lap for a full day of work

Seems like Qualcomm is getting there. Latest generation is not bad, though battery usage seems still a not-so-brilliant (according to early reviews).
