It’s worse if you bought a recent Intel based MacBook Air. I have a 2018 and it’s bad performance and battery compared to the M1.

- eyelidlessness 5y agoI mean I paid probably 3-4x what you did for a similarly outclassed computer so IDK if it’s worse.
- bredren 5y agoAh I thought I read you had a 2016. I realize I haven’t looked at the exact price / performance jumps between the releases across MBA and MBP for Intel to Apple Silicon. I’m curious just how big of a change there was across common metrics.
- makeitdouble 5y agoConsolation would be that you still have full backward compatibility with all the Intel ecosystem. I like the M1, but I could have chosen the 16" intel at the time I bought it, even if it's to switch to the M1 Pro/Max next year for instance.
- bredren 5y agoSo far I have not seen much compelling need for full backward compatibility to Intel. Have you come across many instances where you wish you had an Intel CPU?
