First Macs With Apple Silicon Could Be 13-Inch MacBook Air and 13-Inch MacBook Pro

TBH, what else are we expecting for a laptop? We already have retina display. OTOH, imo the battery life improvement will probably be quite significant, mimicking the iPad's battery life.

It is underwhelming with just performance improvement. Apple can do a press release instead if there isn't some major innovation.

Unless the performance improvement itself is overwhelming.

For native apps the graphics optimizing for the Apple GPU will be better than for the Intel iGPU. If we get iPadOS like performance it will make a lot of people happy.

The high efficiency dedicated video decoders and Neural Engine will offer advantages too. 4K playback and decode should be better than Intel’s decoder.
