They are going to sell these things like cup cakes ... why buy a pc laptop when these are around?

Benchmarks came in and I stared at an older 2013 MBP 15” and decided, “Yup! Time to upgrade”. Tons of others at my work are looking at these with drool coming from their mouths. 2020+ is going to be the decade of extreme-computing on ARM I guess.

You’re right... these M1 MacBooks ARE half the price of a high end pc laptop AND are 4x-12x the performance. :D
