Yeah, but the ARM Macs offered such an obvious advantage over their Intel predecessors that (I guess) a lot of Mac owners made the switch around the same time.

But today, even the first 2021 M1 MBPs are still very good devices (I still don't feel like I need to upgrade to a more recent model). What would make me buy a new Mac is a good OLED display. The display in my new Windows laptop is the one component that's better compared to my 2021 MBP.
