    They’re really coming to grips with how far they outkicked their coverage with the A chips.

    Without gaming, without the business server market, there’s no one to upgrade m2s and m3s to on a yearly cadence. The M1 is already ridiculously powerful for most of their customer base. A CPU this powerful should have shook up the industry, instead it just dragged all their long term customer purchases forward to a single year thereabouts and then back to normal.

    If anything, their conquest sales will take a hit for lack of Windows support.0

      That’s not entirely true. My family and I always used a windows computer. My wife had an old intel MacBook Air because it had some program she needed. It was slow even with the i7 and was expensive for what she got. Programs like Microsoft Office were awful on it and I hated how everything in it was different.

      Then my wife upgraded to the M1 MacBook Air and it was powerful and fast and could do the vast majority of anything I needed including a normal version of Office. Now I have an M1 MacBook Air and so does my Dad. Also, it is pretty well integrated with my iPhone and AirPods, which was a really nice touch.

      They really turned it into a machine that was powerful and able to do anything I needed, for what is now a good price.
