@TomF @regehr yes. I would absolutely *love* to see an x86-64 laptop hit this same level of price:performance:battery-lifetime. Some place like framework maybe. Everyone else seems to be repackaging Chinese designs from like one or two shops and those places don’t experience sufficient market pressure to improve the situation yet.
Fingers crossed though that it happens.

@TomF @regehr I’m not educated or experienced with this level of detail. So speaking purely as a consumer, how is it that the apple silicon so vastly out performs similar x86-64 machines while also using less power and generating less heat?
Is it possible to make an x86-64 system that performs as well (that is, with the same ratio of power consumption and heat)?
Marketing *clearly* wants us to think that it’s ARM. All I know is my personal interactions with the two as a regular user of both PCs and Macs.
