Anyone complaining about this is a tech illiterate tard who doesn't realize how raped laptop users are in this day and age.
If you narrow down your search to same price as
a base Macbook Air, the most popular CPU option you'll find is the Intel I7-1355U, a chip that performs worse than even the non-pro variant of the iPhone 16 chip. Even if you ignore the fact that all of these I7-1355U laptops come with 1080p LCD screens, mushy keyboards, plastic diving board trackpads, half the warranty period and one third of the battery life, they still would be a worse buy than a Macbook Air with a severely binned down M-series chip—and that's assuming you still paid the full $1000 price tag.
The M1 Macbook Air decimated an entire category of laptop when it launched at $1000. The M4 did it again when it lowered the price back down to $1000. If these A19 powered laptops launch at $700-$800 it will be a blood bath for the upper end of the ewaste laptop market.
