#12The iPhone-like speed of waking up from sleep itself is enough to convince many of us to go for the M1 macbooks

Presumably, both.

This is the best part

#15An 8 core processor on a Macbook Air that is also energy efficient? That is truly impressive. I never thought I would consider using Macbook Airs after all the years of using Macbook Pros, but Apple surprises me once again.

Does your iPhone have a fan? It's a supercharged phone chip.

For sure this was expected, but the fan was actually pulled out in the 12" MacBook 2015 edition (dual-core Intel Core M processor).

#19Huh, the form factors for the Macs seem identical. I expected them to be thinner or something. Fanless is nice for the Air. But I'm really waiting to see what they do on the high end with the top MacBook Pro and even Mac Pro. Will we see an Apple discrete GPU? I guess we'll have to wait a year or two for that.

#20Anyone care to explain how they got to 5nm so quickly?
By shoveling loads of cash at TSMC - does anyone know how much - it's got to be millions/billion?
