The M1 macbook did feel like a big jump for me because it had great performance and no fan, which was a huge thing compared to everything else at the time.
Agree. This reminded me that I am talking about mac and forgotten about PC. I have a 2018 Thinkpad ( which uses KabyLake, a 2016 CPU ) at work for specific usage and it is absolutely piece of crap. Not only is the Fan constantly spinning, all the security extra due to policy and requirement making it absurdly slow. It is also another reminder, hardware cant out innovate software performance issues.
