You completely sidestep the fact that benchmarks show the air outperforming all the other laptops Apple sell today with intel chips. How can you not see that as an achievement?

None of the computers getting the M1 today previously let you put in PCI cards or do any of the stuff you claim is needed other than expand the memory.

A14 only made to do one task at a time is just not true. iOS itself runs multiple tasks and writing software utilizing multiple threads is something you do all the time in iOS. I have written more multithreaded code on iOS than on a desktop. Why? Because using grand central dispatch is a must when dealing with all sorts of low latency web APIs you access. I don’t have that issue when building desktop apps.

These Apple laptops have always had few ports. Don’t blame M1 for that.

I do however wish the Mac Mini had more ports.
