I fully believe the M1 is game-changing, but that sounds like you're comparing it to an atrocious alternative. I have an HP Spectre x360 from 2018. The fans don't spin up unless I'm running heavy computation, and on battery, after 4 years, it still lasts about a workday.

I agree entirely. My point of reference is a laptop that was, in hindsight, a total disappointment. I'm bought into the Apple ecosystem though and it was the best Apple laptop that money could buy 3 years back.

I did look at Windows alternatives at the time but ultimately decided that I wanted to remain on Mac.

Sitting on a 2019 MBP now, I agree - this computer has been a disappointment. I'm tied to my charger for any days with more than 3 hours of planned use time.
