At WWDC 2020, Apple surprised everyone in the tech community with the launch of Apple Silicon for Mac and an announcement that they would transition the entire Mac line-up away from Intel. Since we are almost at WWDC 2022, we thought we'd chat about the impact the M1 chips have had, and our experiences with the M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max computers.
