[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1911689, member: 110816"] We could get all technical with you, but as a consumer, don't worry about it. You need a new Mac, grab an M1-based Mac and the apps you like will continue to work. If the app has an Apple Silicon version, use that, if it doesn't grab the regular Intel version and it'll work fine. The added advantage of similar architectures between iOS, macOS, and iPadOS is that the same app has the potential of working across devices that run those OS', but that isn't to say that all will. You're going to have a hard time getting Waze to work on macOS, the same for any app that's heavily reliant on touch inputs. But an application Facebook could/would easily work fine. [/QUOTE]
