Can the MacBook's M-Series silicone save us from 1984?

Short answer: No, don't be silly.

Long answer: Okay, still probably no, but hear me out because it increasingly feels like the only thing separating us and that giant head in a Google Jamboard (rip), is the popularity of Apple's Macintosh computer.

What, if not for the miracle of the M-series chip, would the personal computing market have used to fight off its cloud computing aggressor?

Still from the 1984 Macintosh commercial: A group of silhouetted figures stands before a large screen displaying a close-up image of a face wearing glasses. The scene conveys a sense of surveillance and control.
