Leo LaPorte and the various panelists on his TWiT podcasts, both Apple and non-Apple users, are calling the new M1 chips massive game changers.

One thing that I can’t wrap my head around is that these machines do away with the concept of user added RAM sticks. The RAM isn’t soldered on to the motherboard, it’s basically in the damn chip.

You’re stuck with whatever RAM the computer comes with, but apparently these things scream.

I can vouch for that. The M1 MacBook Air and M1 MacMini are a lot faster. Example—Playing chess with either, they calculate faster and deeper than the Intel Mac mini i7 which is now my backup hooked to my TV.
