These are all going to have massive sales because of the processor security issues.

Because all other chips are 100 percent secure in every way.

Apple has already said they can not be patched with software. It's happened to Intel before as well. Hardware companies, federal gov, and media instructed people to replace them. Later Intel did a patch but severely hurt performance for those that kept them. Expect something similar from Apple.

Great deal. Lowest I've seen was military exchange for $799 (where I got mine). These will be $799 in the near future, less once the M1s sell out.

If you want a bit more performance, MagSafe, 1080p camera, better speakers/mic, notch, more color options, 100 nits more brightness, a bit longer OS longevity, this is it. If none of this matters to you, M1 is still excellent while they last. $650 still at Costco, $699 elsewhere.

Agree most people gave up on themselves and their securities a long time ago.

You can't compare these. Modern ARM MacBooks are almost as secure as iOS and [properly built] Android phones. The ARM chips inside these are so much more secure than x86 ones that even with this vulnerability they run circles around the patched Intel and AMD CPUs.

I'd say yes. With the newer design with the larger screen, MagSafe charging, higher brightness, better web cam, better speakers, better bluetooth, better processor, more years of software support, pretty much an easy decision there. As much of a value driven price $650 offers, keep in mind the Air M1 is already about 4 years old, so it's going to have less support than the M2 at some point.

Wrong. All experts are saying the same thing. ARM vs x86 has nothing to do with this. And these chips are not as secure as clearly this is now known.

I had to return my M1 Air due to screen quality, it was almost fuzzy to my eyes. The screen quality was so bad that it gave me a headache, I wear glasses BTW. If you can afford it, I'd say always get the Pro models with better screen resolution.
