I'm not understanding why Apple silicon being compared to this? Are you just wanting an ARM machine?

I need to make ARM builds of several projects I maintain and the pi gets the job done well (especially when headless so the burden of graphical environment isn't there), but does struggle for normal use, especially as tabs tend to proliferate for me. However, the Pinebook Pro works pretty good for me, and is also ARM.

Because I own a m1 mac mini, I can work without issues and uses about the same power as the raspberry, I don’t know other cpu that’s capable enough and also is power efficient, intel and amd are huge power consumers, other arm processors seems to be bad for daily use as a power user, also AFAIK linux support for m1 seems to be better than the flagship arm processors of the competition and I do not know other pc like device with arm that is not dated hardware.
