  My MacBook Air M1 with 8GB RAM with 12 chrome tabs open feels snappier than my old work MacBook Pro 16" i7 with 32GB RAM and only a couple tabs open. Hell, just alt-tabbing between windows feels faster on the Air.

    Plus it does it all basically silently and cool instead. No matter what you do. You can’t heat it up, unlike an i7 that can be trivially turned into a hair dryer. I can’t compare with a chromebook since I haven’t used one of any level ($200 or $1200). But M1 vs i7 feels like a world of difference too.

      The hotter that I got my M1 MBA was when I was converting 131 GB of Flac files to AAC (~3k files). I believe it used all the cores continuously for around 20 minutes. It was still cooler than my old 2015 MBP at normal usage.
