The M1 Air is a lot faster than it's intel predecessor, the battery runtime is at least 50% longer in real use and the thing is fanless, silent and I haven't burned a single body part yet. That alone is revolutionary.

Just because the machine hasn't changed in appearance (and sadly neither has it's so-so display), the chip difference alone makes it a whole different ballgame.

Fanboys have driven the word 'revolutionary' into the ground so deeply that it ceases to have any actual meaning anymore.

Meanwhile, through temporal prescience, the previous Intel based Macbooks were simultaneously revolutionary and merely tolerated before the M1 variants ever existed.

Don't you guys ever get tired of twisting your Apple apologeticism thought processes into a gordian knot all the time?
