My biggest gripe with laptops have been the battery life. They were basically glorified PCs with like few hours inside them when not plugged in.

This is solved by the M1, that’s all I say. Your laptop is still much more expensive than a significantly better desktop PC.

Online reviews show multiple laptops with near full-day battery life (>8h) exist if you do some googling, so that's almost a non-issue ATM if that's your main concern.

Of course it is, but so what? I need a laptop, not a desktop.
