> Battery and heat-wise they are still behind,

That's all that matters at this point, imo. Very few workloads that can be done on a laptop really benefit from an extra 5-10% perf boost. Performance has gotten good enough that it's no longer a differentiating feature




Sure, my point was that heat and battery are really good in AMD ThinkPads too.

Not as good as in ARM Macs, but sufficiently good to be a compelling alternative.

I have test-driven one and I could get ~10 hours of use plus it was warm and silent.

Macs get a lot more, but some packages are a bit problematic to run on non-x86 architectures.
