M1 Mac owners are experiencing high SSD writes over short periods of time

Those are all valid points. None of them are deal-breakers for me personally, but I understand how they can be.

I wish I could like the M1. I'm honestly really looking forward to ARM and RISC machines becoming more common, as long as there are manufacturers who make them at least somewhat reparable.

>ARM and RISC machines

What OS would they run? Linux?

I wonder if Windows will ever run on ARM/RISC?

Windows already runs on ARM.

The groundwork was done for embedded systems, but they added the desktop features and even make a few laptops with it now. But those are generally not very well-regarded, since the x86 emulation is slow and there is basically no native software.

Windows has run on non-x86 processors from at least the 90s.

Oh, well that's not so good if it's just emulated x86.
