#22Also, a nitro-methane dragster is faster in the 1/4 mile than a high end Tesla. Though it might be wasting a few joules here and there doing it.

#23But at what thermal, power and monetary price? Edit: @deepnotderp[1] found the power adjusted basis: https://mobile.twitter.com/witeken/status/147844103741682893... [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29802359#29803502
Depending on the workload: does it need to? Most people I've seen use laptops near chargers, or at least within 2 hours of the nearest charging opportunity. Sometimes people travel and need more, but I don't think it's that common to need eight hours of charge at maximum performance. Don't get me wrong, the M1 is an engineering marvel and as Apple's competitors move to a similar node size I hope they too will get the…
Heat & Fans matter too. 99% of my usage of my M1 macbook is in clam-shell mode, so I don't care about the battery life. But I do love that it doesn't dissipate much heat and that I never hear it.

#24It's ironic how Intel is now the company that needs to try to punch up in marketing after putting a sales/marketing person in charge for several years and falling straight down the ladder to pretty much last place.

I am always within 1 minutes of a charger. My i9 MacBook still dies on me all the time. Get to 5% and go to the bathroom? Oops, it died, and I can’t join my next meeting on time.
Start a call at 10% battery? Will definitely have to interrupt to go plug in.
I want performance and battery.

Moving to a completely proprietary platform just to spite one x86 vendor is cutting off your nose to spite your face ;)

I like my work M1 macbook air, but when battery gets below 10% it seems to get very unhappy... Requires sitting on the charger for a while before it will even start up properly

#28Apple has already won. Even if Intel catches up in efficiency, it doesn't matter. Even if they're 30% faster, it doesn't matter. Apple is in charge of their own destiny with Apple Silicon. That's invaluable.

If Intel can come up with a laptop that's faster than the M1 at two thirds the price with the only downside being that you only get four hours of battery out of it with all cores clocked to their limit
I don't see how Intel can come up with a macbook air equivalent at a price of $350.
