Too your point, the Chinese buy 50% of all soybeans (animal feed) that the USA produces.
Other countries only need a year or two to steal this market from American farmers.
By having virtual instances (like Microsoft 365) a business no longer has to deal with hardware, maintenance, repairs. In addition since they are likely using Azure anyways they can manage users in the cloud, security settings, and they can be 100% sure that the devices are in compliance since they are always connected to the internet.
I am not 100% sold on it as a business owner personally due to the latency and other weirdness you get when you virtualize/remote into machines but I see the draw.
I would disagree the CPU/GPU power increases have been absolutely fantastic. My M4 Max Studio compiles my code in roughly half the time vs my M1 Max.
You can’t visualize teraflops. I’m talking about how the look of the hardware is stale now.
Tim Cook like typing detected....
They are tools. very well made, robust, tools. how sexy is your wrench?
Soybeans are fungible goods, whoever had previously been buying Brazilian soybeans will be in the market for American soybeans.
I upgraded from a MBP 14 M1P to a MBP 14 M4P a couple weeks ago. I had already been eyeing the upgrade, and the timing seemed right between the sale price at Microcenter, potential for price increases should there be prolonged tarrifs, and a respectable trade-in price from Apple. The Microcenter price has since gone up by $100.
I really liked my M1P, and if dog fur hadn't gunked up the keys I'd probably still be rocking it. 😂 That's my own fault. It's not easy to clean under those keys. Now I have a GhostCover keyboard cover to keep it from happening again!

Funny, that's not what American soybean farmers are saying. The opposite in fact:
U.S. soybean farmers urge Trump to ease tariffs on China to protect their industry
Soybean farmers are urging the White House to abandon its tariffs on China to protect their industry. NPR's Leila Fadel speaks with Caleb Ragland, president of the American Soybean Association.

My old wrench ... not very. My screwdriver, though, is to die for.
Not sure how many units were sold. Shipment increase should mainly be due to the tariffs. But expecting the M4 Air to sell well. It is a very good laptop.
