    I don’t really like geekbench. It always feels like it favors apple devices.

      Sometimes companies build product to get high scores, rather than to work well in real settings.

      Apple has done a remarkable job with their silicon though.

      I got an used M1 2020 MacBook Air (base model, no upgrades) back in 2023 and that thing is still going strong. Doesn’t feel slow at all. Not even slightly.

        I got a used 2010 thinkpad and it doesn’t feel slow at all (I play solitaire and browse the web on it on Linux Mint)

        I think I need not explain the parallel here, right?

        Yep, still using my M1 MacBook air as well. Amazing that when I got it it was $800, and it performs just as well if not slightly better than the new Macbook Neo.
