No love lost for Intel if it goes away, other than that their Linux support has historically been great.

I wouldn't be thrilled about AMD having a de facto monopoly on x86 production through.

Granted, ISA is less crucial than it used to be, but there's still a lot of x86 binaries in the world.

Depends on what you do.

Gaming PC = x86

Work laptop = x86

So AMD or Intel. "Switch to Mac" means ripping out the whole MS management stack. Or keep/move to 365 and Intune but tune it to Mac. Or keep 365 but move management to Jamf. Can be done ofc, but it's a process.

That's how I still see it. Maybe I'm out of touch :)

Surely that's not the only advantage?

bahahaha xddddd

Not but really, yes it is doable but takes time and hiring new admins or re-train.

Yes if you are company of 20 people go buy Macs and GSuite.
