My wife’s 8gb m1 runs faster and cooler than my now-disposed-of i5 16gb Thinkpad from the same time. It still feels like it has years of life left vs the Thinkpad which I dumped.
The issue isn’t apple doing this–its that the other manufacturers put out hit-and-miss laptops that always seem to have something wrong with them (thermals, noise, battery, screen, touchpad). Not that apple laptops haven’t had problems either, but at least apple gets attention when they screw up.
