Very lame indeed.

I was expecting it to be more with the M1 Max said to be RTX 3060 to 3080 this is so underwhelming. I guess apple notebooks would not be in short supply.

In all seriousness, Apple products, especially MacBooks, were never meant to be huge number-crunching machines. The M1 made people too optimistic, in my opinion.

I remember M1 did like 2 MH/s only, I wouldn't expect M1 Pro/Max to go much faster.
Plus the break even will likely take forever, or at least much longer than getting a GPU.
