As a user of M1, M2 and M4, that's why I've chose Apple.
I would have gladly jumped to any laptop that supports Linux with similar power and battery life and weight/build, unfortunately that computer does not exist.
Is it time to call on garmin to make a computer? They've beat apple on the watch. I have faith in them.
You make somewhat more power efficient chips, you get to sell it for a lot more.
Your chips are inefficient, and you won’t be able to sell to a hyperscaler even for $0.
The latter is the position Intel is quickly arriving at for DC; Epycs are much more efficient and Intel’s wildly slashing prices.

For Apple, A-series dies are pretty small, they basically prefund a large part of TSMC and almost certainly gets the lowest prices of any customer.
