M1 chip is not a product. It's a component in a product. It doesn't really do that much for the end user. Software runs faster now but in a few years everything will become slower again, as always happens.
No, the M1 is not a product. A Macbook with an M1 chip is, though, and a Macbook with an M1 chip is an amazing product, right now. Nothing else gets close.
It really is, it's so buttery smooth and the battery life and how quiet it is is quite slick. I don't own one but I did borrow one from a friend for a day trip and it was really nice. Not nice enough for me to not wait until I run my current battery hog linux daily driver into the ground but it was really nice and did a decent job compiling my rust projects.
