> if you've ever used an ARM laptop system

Erm... A non-Apple ARM laptop you mean.

But yes - these things feel like Celeron laptops for Xeon prices.



No, I wrote what I meant. I own both an M2 Mac, ARM Chromebook and Zen4 AMD laptop and the MacBook and AMD laptop are quite comparable these days, it's not like I run out of battery on any of them regularly.

The Qualcomm powered Chromebook is the outlier with noticeably worse performance.

It all depends on how and where your power adapters are scattered in your office. I definitely like not worrying about that with the Apples while, with the Dell, I'm constantly mindful about where the adaptor is (and carry one in my backpack).


Yeah, I could confidently take my MacBook on a day trip sans charger, but I have yet to own a contemporary x86 laptop that could I could do the same with. That said, my newest x86 laptop is Intel Tiger Lake which wasn’t ever really good in that department.
