    you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Apple’s laptops sales are decreasing. And most Mac users can’t tell the differences between Intel, the M chips, AMD or whatever. They just know that there’s a pretty apple on the back of their laptop and that’s why they buy it.

        So you agree that it’s mainly Apple stans buy in whenever a new Mac drops, and hasn’t been able to really influence non Apple stans.

        That’s what the poster above you said. Apple stans buy in because they’re a cult, so of course their sales will increase once a new mac drops.

        Only if you’re not using AARCH64 based containers. At my job, we leverage the appropriate containers and performance is insanely good.
