While the M1 is great now, I'm very hopeful in what's to come. If Apple can maintain even a bit of their current improvements year over year, in 2-3 years it just won't make sense to use anything else; see this graph to know what I mean:

Even if Intel can catch up somehow, it'll take years to catch up to this, and by then it'd be too late. The only reason why Apple will not win is that they bundle software and hardware too strongly. This some times and for some markets is a big strength, but other times it's a weakness IMHO.

I was pretty skeptical that niche x86 FORTRAN R extensions would work on M1. But here we are, Rosetta made it the smoothest ride possible. Now look at Microsoft and their Surface Pro X.
- franciscop 6y agoYes, it's great to grab a big chunk of the market, but it'll limit then to grab the whole market IMHO.
