This really flips the argument that Mac hardware is overpriced and underpowered on its head. Now Apple computers are a premium product from a performance perspective, as well.
This is salient, and almost upsetting frankly as I (and others?) have been looking for a 'way off' the platform after years of grievance.

It’s a huge problem for open computing to be sure.
This isn’t risk free, issues having to do with supply and process and frankly geopolitics can cause problems. But it looks like they’re off to a good start.
