I switched to Apple when they dropped PPC for Intel. I've had just about every x86 Macbook they built, and have built a handful of high-spec hackintosh desktops.
When the M1 came out, I ran out and grabbed the cheapest one I could (8gb M1 Air) to play around with. After about 30 minutes, I decided to transfer my daily driver to this little passively cooled notebook. The next day I bought the M1 Mini to replace my overclocked hackintosh. My high-end x86 gear just couldn't compete with the low-end M1s.
I don't care what Intel and Nvidia say. I've used all their products. The M1 is black magic.
