Apple M1 Max Geekbench Score

Here's a different take to that: If I refuse to use Windows as my OS on my Dell Inspiron 7559 I have to live with like 2 hours of battery life and a hot lap because power management doesn't work properly. So much as watching a YouTube video under Linux makes it loud and hot.

Same laptop could do 9+ consistently for me in Windows and remained quiet unless I was actually putting load on it.

The reading I've done on the Framework laptops makes it sound like this situation has not improved, or at least not anywhere near enough to compete with Windows.. this has effectively ruled them out of the running on a replacement laptop for me.

An M1 based Macbook sure is looking appealing these days. I can live with macOS.

Not everyone needs decent battery life, but some of us do.

And yet I hear otherwise.. maybe your referencing the original review units that didnt run on 5.14.

It's possible, and when actively in the market I'll always revisit such things.
