How did you compare a Windows system with a Mac to conclude it was "an underwhelming experience"? were they similarly configured and running similar software?

> a large part of the M1's performance "gains" can be attributed to the increased RAM on the systems currently featuring the M1.

Not sure I understand your point. M1 systems have 8 or 16 GB RAM. There are no increased RAM compared to non-M1 Mac.

I'll try to find the review in the morning if I remember/care enough, but at least one of the reviews noted that the tested system had more RAM than the slightly older Mac it was being compared to, and that the performance gains between the two systems generally mirrored those found in PCs with differing amounts of RAM.
