While I agree with spins, I don’t agree with overall judgement.

M1 chips were a boom for Apple from day 1 even almost all 3rd party software was not optimized.

So this can significantly ramp up the experience of PC laptops. Of course it is very unlikely to push them above Macs, but the race may be more interesting.

M1 didnt even increase Apple's market share. Also Mac buyers and developers were forced to embrace M1, because there would no longer be x86 Mac products. That's not the case with Windows, where 99% of the laptops sold will still be x86 in 2024, and while that number might decrease a bit going forward, the vast majority of Windows devices sold and owned will still be x86.
