windows wasn't even the first, why would people know more about windows than mac?

    I like this laptop. Its design is really beautiful. I have HP Pavilion 14 which also has best design ever.

        First of all, the macbook air consumes like 2/7 of the power of an AMD ryzen 7 4800HS and 2/9 of the power of a AMD ryzen 7 4800H(10W TDP vs. 35W and 45W TDP).

        Second of all, the architecture is different. The 8 cores of the M1 are actually 4 high power cores and 4 high efficiency cores(for better battery life). The 8 cores on the AMD Ryzen 7 4800 series are all high performance cores, which sacrifice on battery life in exchange of performance.

        Plus, are you EVER going to run an application that needs the power of all 8 cores? Probably not. That's the job of the 16 inch devices.

        Besides pushing all 8 cores to the max(which is unrealistic), apple M1 ties or even performs better than AMD ryzen 7 counterparts in all other scenarios.

            It's like Windows Phone OS running smoothly without lags on 512mb RAM.
            Same wasn't the case for Android phone running on 512mb RAM. But people wouldn't pick Windows phone as barring a few basic apps, the ecosystem was non existent.
            They went with Android despite being less smooth for that hardware.

            Windows gas that sought after ecosystem of apps and services which cannot be found on MacOS. So most people don't care about per Watt performance of cpu inside Mac since they aren't going to switch to MacOS for that.

              What the hell? That's easily one of the most important metric when it comes to quantifying how good the processors are especially if they are low power processors. Anyone who call themselves a tech enthusiast SHOULD be at least concerned about this topic even if they don't have a strong interest in mobile CPUs.

                      When apple's chips destroy the competition, you downplay it by saying that "nobody cares" about MacOS.

                      The M1 chip has nothing to do with the OS, it's just powering it.

                      If AMD or Intel released this chip you would be all over it.

                        Literally no one gives a damn about your MacBook.

                        Atleast in smartphones, people know about Apple through iPhone.
                        The casual user in the PC market is clueless about MacOS.
                        The OS marketshare for Mac is just too low for people to care.
                        Nobody wants to use that handicapped mess.
                        People want to use smooth functioning Windows that they are familiar with for 20 plus years now.

                          Most people want nothing to do with weak MacOS.
                          Everyone uses Windows. They don't want to switch to an alien ecosystem devoid of the rich application and services offered on Windows.

                                    Okay we get it, it's not a perfect device, but it's definitely a step towards the wright direction, people's usage is different from a person to an other, but battery is most important to everyone.
