I'm an Apple MacBook Pro user, and I'm in the market for a new one. My current workhorse was made in mid-2015 and runs on an Intel i7 chip. It works pretty well, despite being six years old. Every now and then it lags a bit.
I'm not going to buy a replacement until I can get it with the new Apple-designed M1 chip. So far, only four different Macs use these new processors. Those are the new entry iMac, the low-end MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air and the low-end Mac mini. The company has said that this will soon change.
Apple Mac computer sales have been surging lately. Last quarter they topped $9 billion, a record for the company. That was probably due to more sales of work-from-home devices. With new Apple-designed chips will come easier integrations with all existing iPhone apps. Sounds good!
