I suggest you judge based on benchmarks rather than vibes. If you believe the latest M3 does not perform better than machines you’ve used in the 80s, I have no

  > If you believe the latest M3 does not perform better than machines you’ve used in the 80s That wasn't what I was trying to say, I apologize, I should have been clearer. What I intended to say was that I've been using various, many computers since the 1980's so I have a wide and deep sampling of experiences with them and to that end...the M3 did NOT feel to me like it performed better. Regardless the benchmarks, I know how the machine should feel and I know M3 did not feel any better than any other machine I've used (and that is a lot of laptops).

    Ok that is a much better point and a fair correction.

  Well, no ? That's litterally saying "trust the synthetic process, we don't care about real world usage" ?? I don't care if it works better theorically, if it feels bad in everyday usage it IS bad

    Well, grab an Apple from the 80s and try running a modern app on it and see whether the M3 performs better or worse. Or, if the point is that software became very bloated, then sure but they also do a lot more nowadays so then you’re really just comparing apples with oranges.
