A lot of attention will go to the high price point, but the “low end” models will be more powerful, battery efficient, etc. than most every Windows laptop.

The new models feature a modernized, streamlined keyboard design that power users will be relieved to learn retains the escape key. However, the vowel keys have been eliminated, but can be accessed through an intuitive pulldown menu option.

This still feels like an entry-level model compared with the 16" MBP or a more fully upgraded 14". That's a steep starting price point.

My notch take is basically that if the end result was net negative surface area, I would be offended because no face id etc. But the net is _positive_ screen real estate (.2"x) so it's a bit eye rolling but hard to really care that much about in the end.
— Panzer (@panzer) October 18, 2021

Usually, when you make a chip larger and pack more cores, you get performance but greatly sacrifice power efficiency (wattage).

Have to credit Apple's architecture (and designers) with the unprecedented performance and efficiency delivered with these chips.
