I am weirdly obsessed with this. I am burning to see the next iteration of Apple Silicon devices with an M1X or M2 chip and more ports and RAM for higher-spec devices and new MacBook designs even lighter and smaller than the current Air (bring back the 11"!).
I guess I'm just caught up in the hype and excited about movement in the chip design space after many years of Intel stagnation. Zen and the M1 are a breath of fresh air.
Waiting to replace a 2014 11" MacBook Air until the story about Parallels support is clear and maybe new MacBook designs are available.
I also have a 2013 Mac Pro trashcan-style on my desk at work. Until recently it was simultaneously available in the inventory system and marked as EOL. I'm not sure if the 2020 6-core Intel Mac Mini would actually be faster - maybe. I'm only a part-time iOS developer so I keep trucking along with the 2013 model.
You're not the only one - there's an apple silicon story on HN every day, so that says something. And I too look out for them. Just dreaming that M1 would be available in a different reasonable linux notebook.
