>I bet you less than 10% of them even know that Apple released a new MacBook and MacMini.

And fewer than 10% of those do any work that would stand to benefit from the new chip.

Performance isn't the draw for these people, its battery life.

If you want to sell 2 billion smartphones, give the people a phone with 75% of the performance of an iPhone 11 or Galaxy S21, but a two week battery life.

You wouldn't be able to make them fast enough.
