Legit complaints about #Apple exist but the M series of chips isn't one of them for me.
Apple announced #M4 today but I have a M1 Air and MacMini in my family that will last for years. My M1 Max and M2 Air aren't slow in the least.
Of course I'll upgrade eventually. But I could easily see getting a M4 on a discount.
Very happy w/ Apple hardware in this era.
