If storage works, PC-to-PC comparisons with Macs were the norm just a few years ago. I don’t understand why some reviewers have written it off recently. Is it because reviewers think they can’t compare x86 and ARM laptops to some degree? Seems simple enough to me. Are they afraid that the presentation of MacBooks that surpass Wintel laptops will give the impression that they are in an Apple bag? I don’t understand why. The fact is, and many people still need or want to buy a Windows laptop.

And Efficiency – It will not be popular with a large part of its audience. Apple Silicon is a very annoying fact for many computer enthusiasts who don’t like Macs, so they refuse, like B. Fox News scientist and climate change. simple There’s no other way to explain the MacBook’s omission in a comparison like Ars Technica.
