Somehow, not only does the MacBook Pro powered by M1 Max meet expectations, it exceeds them: this computer is a marvel.
Intel has hopes that it can win back Apple's business after the company has moved on to in-house silicon, and said that the best way to do so was to "simply make better chips" than Apple can.
