On Youtube I watched a Mac user who had bought an iMac last year. It was maxed out with 40 GB of RAM costing him about $4000. He watched in disbelief how his hyper expensive iMac was being demolished by his new M1 Mac Mini, which he had paid a measly $700 for.
In real world test after test, the M1 Macs are not merely inching past top of the line Intel Macs, they are destroying them. In disbelief people have started asking how on earth this is possible?
If you are one of those people, you have come to the right place. Here I plan to break it down into digestible pieces exactly what it is that Apple has done with the M1.

Similarly with the Macintosh, Apple was making boatloads of money, even while the IBM PC had most of the market.
Apple spun out a software company, Claris, that was worth $10 Billion (in about 1990 ish, IIRC). That was bigger than many PC makers.
When trying to solve a problem don't ask who suffers from the problem, ask who profits from the problem.
