It’s worse if you bought a recent Intel based MacBook Air. I have a 2018 and it’s bad performance and battery compared to the M1.

Consolation would be that you still have full backward compatibility with all the Intel ecosystem.

I like the M1, but I could have chosen the 16" intel at the time I bought it, even if it's to switch to the M1 Pro/Max next year for instance.

So far I have not seen much compelling need for full backward compatibility to Intel.

Have you come across many instances where you wish you had an Intel CPU?

I mean I paid probably 3-4x what you did for a similarly outclassed computer so IDK if it’s worse.

Ah I thought I read you had a 2016.

I realize I haven’t looked at the exact price / performance jumps between the releases across MBA and MBP for Intel to Apple Silicon.

I’m curious just how big of a change there was across common metrics.
