   What's best in 2026 might not remain best in 2027. Intel and AMD   
   controlled the processing world until Apple released their own silicon   
   and made them look like amateurs. Then, Qualcomm released its own   
   competitor to what Apple was selling and proved that challengers can   
   come from the most unlikely of places. Nothing is stopping the people   
   who have more experience in designing chips from releasing something   
   that makes the Mx series look pathetic in comparison. Admittedly though,   
   I'd rather an Mx chip at this moment.

   No, I buy hardware in the hope that I can do whatever I want with it for   
   as long as I want. That's the x86-64 side for now, despite its obvious   
   drawbacks.
