I agree that they should have compared processors with the same
number of cores. However, the point these reviewers want to make is
that at the price it will cost, the Snapdragon will beat what is
available at the same price from the competition.

 
If that's all they have then again, Apple has nothing to worry about.
Macs have always been "overpriced and underpowered", yet Macs are now
20% of the market and Windows is down to 70%. I remember when it was
4% Macs and 95% Windows.

 
 
I think the gains Apple has made in the desktop/laptop market are what
we've always wanted to see Linux do, but it can't because normal
people barely know what it is.  macOS, though, is commercial, and
sleeker than Winbloat, so it offers an alternative people are aware
of.  I would never again buy a Mac, but I like that they offer
something to drive M$ toward a better paradigm, competition works.
Linux remains my style, as a computer nerd, but macOS offers a
similarly functional OS for more mainstream people.

from Dell/Lenovo/HP/whoever laptops.

The only thing that prevents Linux from becoming useful for mainstream
users is that the people writing it are not really interested in doing
that.  Linux is written by computer geeks for computer geeks. Thus it
appeals to a small subset of computer users. Nothing wrong with that.
It is what it is.

Nevermind, Apple already did that.  But they used Unix instead.  Same
idea.

Valve and the Steamdeck are doing it too.
