MacOS keyboards are dire though.

I wish the Thinkpad wasn't so awful. Unfortunately, the screen, silicon AND power management software of a Thinkpad + Linux is miles behind MacOS.

13th gen Intel is quite competitive with M1/M2 in perf per watt.

Peak vs idle is the question.

I haven't seen 13th gen extremely closely. It'll get very, very complicated though.

The performance per watt at the top of the voltage frequency curve for the performance cores, is very different to the voltage frequency curve for the idle cores at base clock.

Especially at low queue depth, infrequent operations.

Don’t share the same opinion. The keyboards they use now are the best I have had on any laptop.

Layout, rather than switch, I should have said.

ThinkPad + Windows + WSL. You are welcome.
