Any reason you aren't looking at ryzen based laptops?

Was trying to make an, uh, apples-to-Apples comparison, so yes, I'm also in the market for an AMD but that understanding long-term-quality of components isn't ... well, I guess I have no idea how to measure the "quality" of a laptop if it's not simply "go trust Apple".
I mainly go back to the batteries I had to buy for one laptop.
I have a 2011 MBA whose battery still lasts an hour and it can do all the "daily driver" tasks except gaming.
(Meanwhile I replaced my other laptop's battery 3 times in that time!)
THe MBA's mobo finally went out so I'm in the market for a new laptop NOW and want to justify buying an EIGHTH GEN i5 MBP for over $1000 when there are laptops with TENTH gen i7's and >1tb hdd's for similar money.......
