I have an M1 MacBook Air I bought used a year ago for $800.
I edit a ton of 4K video, photos off my Sony Mirrorless, write articles, web, etc.
It is by far the fastest computer I’ve ever used. I have never once known or cared if anything is running x86.
- saghm 1y agoThe first time I got one of the ARM MacBooks from a job after years of being given the x86 ones, even my cats could immediately tell the difference. The x86 ones were basically constantly operating at a warm temperature that caused them to both want to nap on it, so they'd scuffle a few times a week when inevitably one of them tried to get on my desk only to find the other already napping there. In around 20 months of using M1 and newer laptops from employers, I've had a cat nap on them maybe three times total, because it pretty rarely is noticeably warmer than anything else in the room, so they have no special interest in it compared to much more enticing furniture like my keyboard.
