Launch of MacBooks with M2 chips could lower sales of laptops with Intel processors

Apple’s redesigned MacBook Air with M2 chip will be released soon. This situation worries some Windows laptop manufacturers. Because Intel-based laptop sales may be adversely affected by this situation.

The fact that the M2 chip is better than Intel makes Windows-based laptop sellers nervous

According to the report by DigiTimes, the MacBook Air, which costs between $ 1,000 and $ 1,500, will surpass other high-end laptops. The report also stated that Windows laptop manufacturers are concerned about weakening consumer sentiment due to prices driven by inflation and the economic downturn.

The processor developed by Apple changed the rules of the game for the Mac series. Benchmarks made in 2020 revealed that the MacBook Air with the M1 chip outperformed the Intel-based 16-inch MacBook Pro. At the same time, as a result of the tests, it was revealed that the M2 chip is faster than the 8-core Intel Xeon W processor. For these reasons, Intel vendors are uneasy about the launch of the MacBook Air with the M2 chip, which is expected to be available soon.
