The real reason I won’t buy one - despite wanting one really badly - is that Apple silicon is just too good. The gap between the battery life, performance and efficiency over x86 continues to widen.

FYI Intel caught up on node size. No more gap.
Only reason there was a gap is Intel fumbling to switch to a new node and apple showering tsmc with money for latest node size. There was no gap with amd all this time and battery was great on amd laptops

Node size wasn’t one of the metrics I was comparing so love to see some benchmarks to prove this gap isn’t as bad as I was aware…

is that Apple silicon is just too good

  1. Pay TSMC a shit ton of money to be first in line
  2. Make your mouse chargeable from the underside and make the laptop so small that the fans will never be able to remove the heat for more than 5 minutes
  3. Price your product 3x what it's worth
  4. People buy it anyway because they claim that they were chosen by Steve Jobs as messiah
  5. Repat every 5 years
  6. Profit
