This M1 8gb won't be good for AI or heavy workloads, but is more than enough power for the average internet based user. At this price point, they only have premium chromebooks or crappy Windows laptops. I'd take my M1 8gb over any other if this was my price cap or giving it to a basic user.

Intel Macs are dead. They aren't getting support (software) going forward. It has little to do with AMD or Intel as companies, it's Apple's priority.
It also so happens apples intel bad products way under perform compared to their extremely cheap ARM offerings..
Intel isn't "Bad"- Apple just no longer supports it. The Intel model that was out the day before the M1 was released no longer receives updates by Apple. The M1 is still fully supported and likely will be for years to come (as it is still being actively sold.)

Well that's the usual for Mac users. Any comment about longevity and they hit thumbs down. The M1 here is absolutely a steal, but RAM is RAM. Just because an OS uses it more efficiently doesn't mean more of it isn't worth it, and that's not considering the other improvements that have been added over the past 3 years.

They underperform because of the extreme design constraints. They were not designed to be used in ultra low power scenarios like the mobile but scaled up M-series chips were. They are kind of the opposite which are scaled down desktop chips which come with the baggage of x86 support and compatibility.

Nope. You should look at the newer models that come with more RAM baked in.

That said, I seriously doubt anyone wanting to do these things is buying an M1 MacBook Air. This computer is a huge step up from Chromebooks and Intel PCs in the $300-$400 pricerange for general computing.
People in the market for Supras aren't shopping around for Corollas, to this point.
