Yeah, basically unless a piece of laptop hardware comes on x86 that can match the M1's battery life/efficiency/performance, Gigahertz and 13900 k-class unicorn horns and all that is just marketing. Generations, X% better than last generation is all powerpoint / tech press bulletpoints. The M1 produced a bigger enduser boost than the introduction of SSDs. We're now at 1 year for the M1 essentially, and there is no conquerable x86 product yet, and I don't really see it on roadmaps. Microsoft remains too incompetent to make a usable desktop OS, and their hardware forays are always spectacular failures, so they won't provide the hardware leadership. That leaves Intel and AMD, and both appear to be in head-in-sand mode. And I am no mac zealot. The only thing I like about my M1 work laptop is the battery life, but it's such an incredible leap over any other laptop experience that it is the gold standard. I'd love a linux laptop that was comparable, x86 or ARM, but if the M1 is an A+, all other laptops are basically at C or C- grade.
