How are the reactions incompatible? People like me, who don't need more than 16 GB of RAM and one monitor, are happy with the M1. Other people are waiting on the M1X/M2 chip to bring what they need.

The MacBook was fanless in 2015 and, like many other fanless designs using Intel chips, it was slow.

They think its worth skipping over M1 rather than going all in on the 1st gen product which at the time had primitive support for most mainstream software, especially for developers. Maybe Apple knew that the M1 could not drive more than 1 monitor on the Macbook Air and in fact left that limitation in with a small disclaimer. Perhaps they will announce this capability in the M2 Macs.

Other people are waiting on the M1X/M2 chip to bring what they need. I agree with your nuance. > The MacBook was fanless in 2015 and, like many other fanless designs using Intel chips, it was slow. The Surface Book 2/3 and M1 MacBook Air are not slow (hence the point of my comparison)
