This feels a little off base; what the author needs is a fast and efficient machine. Why would the architecture matter?
It may be the current state of affairs that Apple ARM systems are great at this. But (1.) that doesn't mean other ARM systems are good at it, and (2.) doesn't mean it's going to stay that way.
(And in all honesty, a lot of non-Apple ARM systems are just garbage in either performance, efficiency, or both.)
