I even know where your environment got that belief. Blame MTV, since 2004: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimp_My_Ride A lot of non-natives then miss that the meaning of the word is not about an "upgrade" but

MacBook Air 2019 (Intel): 2.75 MacBook Pro 2019 (Intel): 3.02 As far as I see the M1 models aren't heavier than the Intel ones? But run much longer before they have to be recharged, spending much less power.
