> I would have never traded Mac for Windows just for a CPU.

I question if you’ve ever used an intel Mac and then transition to an M1 Mac. The difference isn’t truly night and day. The fact that I could actually use it as a laptop *and* the fact that I could carry it all day without worry about battery life is enough.

For the basic consumer, an M1 Mac or even an M1 iPad is enough to switch from windows.

I don't know why you question this, because I've clearly been using Macs since PPC.

To be clear, I've owned around a dozen Macs over the past 20 years: PPC, Intel, Apple silicon.

> is enough to switch from windows

Ok but basically any reason is enough to switch from Windows. ;-)

Whereas I was considering the opposite switch from Mac to Windows.
