In the late 80s and early 90s, every computer that Apple made was better than all their other machines. Even if they were making a smaller budget device like the SE or SE/30, performance increased so quickly that it would beat all the previous machines.
For one short year, in 2020, due to the ARM transition, Apple repeated that feat. It could keep on going, if for example, the refresh of the Macbook Air comes out in 2022 and beats the Pro machines that came out in 2021.

Form factor basically same, screen the same, OS the same, yet somehow the qualitative feel changes with the new responsiveness. I don't switch to any Mac other than the M1 now except of necessity because of the instant ability to feel the downgrade.
