Yeah, sorta wrong. Sure, computers are already really fast, but the big thing with the M1 Macs for me is that they've finally came out with a laptop that doesn't heat up like crazy when I'm using it for moderately demanding tasks.
Also every laptop I've had prior, would get pretty hot or the fan would get quite loud when connected to an external display. This M1 is completely silent when doing that AND it doesn't throttle.
- pushrax 6y agoWe have had passively cooled high performance devices for a while. M1 Macs are a great step, but it's more useful to compare them with previous gen mobile devices (iPad Pro 2018 ran faster than the 13" MBP at the time). Bringing ARM SoCs to laptops is also not new (e.g. Surface Pro X from Oct 2019), but I agree it's worth noting that Apple is doing a great job of it. Best x86 translation out there.
