Haha, you're an Apple fanboy. Intel CPUs are more than fast enough for current software. Just today I took out of storage an almost 5 year old laptop (a Dell Precision) with Intel i7-8750h (6 cores, 12 threads) and 32GB RAM. Put in a new SSD (Samsung 980 Pro) and it flies with Windows 10 - browsing, watching 4K movies, using JetBrains WebStorm with a fairly large TypeScript project all work perfectly well and the laptop is completely silent. There is no noticeable difference between this laptop and my desktop with i5-13600K.

iSheeple usually compare M1 and M2 laptops with Apple's old Intel based laptops and not with current Intel and AMD mobile processors - which are completely competitive in terms of performance.

Battery life and thermals are much better on M1.

It's also that Intel laptops are pretty trash in general especially at equivalent price points vs what apple offers. Not everyone needs or wants it all buy you want really good quality, screen/keyboard/trackpad build quality/acoustics apple is pretty much the only choice out there.

Responding to a “fanboy” with “iSheeple” doesn’t really win you any credibility.

You had some credibility up until then...
