Specifications aside, Apple's M1 chip enables Mac devices to perform at peak efficiency. The Apple Silicon MacBook Air, Apple Silicon MacBook Pro, and the Apple Silicon Mac mini are the first devices to feature this chip. Although the M1 is Apple's first Apple-made processor for its lower-end laptops and desktops, it's already showing promising improvements. The M1 chip is only the beginning of Apple's foray into the chip processor market.
Apple shared that their M1 chip was going to outshine current processing chips with its high performance and enhanced battery efficiency, claims which tech leaders like Qualcomm and Microsoft struggled to equal with the first wave of their own ARM-chip-powered laptops. When news broke about Apple unveiling their own desktop- and laptop-grade chip for their Mac devices in November 2020, it was initially met with skepticism. The future of Apple's Mac devices has arrived.
