For example I can't run Windows XP in a VM with acceptable performance.

I can run Black mesa at 60FPS inside a Windows 11 VM on my Macbook M2. That suggests performance is not actually that bad?

Probably because your Windows 11 VM runs ARM version of Windows and I need x86 version of Windows.

i was in the same situation with the switch to silicon. I have some obscure industry software that i use on a rare basis that only runs on x86 - i just bought a cheap thinkpad (x220 i think) and have XP on there.

silicon (m2) is worth its weight in gold to me for the battery life and functionality.
