The number of people hearing the buzz about M1 who are not die-hard fans and rushing into the store to see them is just nuts.
The normal jabber from the folks at AN is "guys who know computers", which tends to lack "normal people who just use computers" perspective. I've never seen so many people with little or no computer knowledge coming in to see something with "this new M1 processor".
Here's an example: We still have several early 2020 MacBook Air machines in stock at reduced prices. When some random person walks in and is given the choice of Intel-based Air or M1-based Air, they almost unanimously want the M1, even people who consider themselves computer illiterate.
Sure, Apple will lose a few spec-whore-fixit-myself types, but for every one of those, I wager they will gain 10 people who just want the bloody thing to work.
