Literal skylake processor is not in the same performance class as M3 no matter what you tell yourself. The battery life alone is literally an order of magnitude

Literal skylake processor is not in the same performance class as M3 no matter what you tell yourself. The battery life alone is literally an order of magnitude different.
Just like OP said, this is not really a comparable machine. It’s fine if it meets your needs, but the apple is also a better machine and you shouldn’t dump on people for acknowledging this reality.

- paulmd 3y ago> sorry if i burst the bubble a little Pfft. Okay. I wonder if there’s a name for this kind of reaction, “door slamming”? Normally it behooves you to be in the right when you do it.
