That's fine but after experiencing the insane battery life of M1 I will not use another brand unless they somehow manage to beat apple silicon, which I hope they do but they have such an advantage.

Some people from the Apple M1 team left to start Nuvia, which was acquired by Qualcomm and will hopefully be bringing comparable performance-per-watt to PC OEM Arm Windows/Linux laptops in 2024.

I had a Lenovo with double-battery and about 18 hours of autonomy, so it's not impossible to get that at a discount.

Which is fine if you’re mostly stationary but for someone who travels a lightweight and performant laptop with all-day battery is a game changer. Only Apple has that at the moment.

Well no that particular laptop have been my mainstay for 7 years of mobility, and ran 7 years vertically on a stand, so Apple would have broken way before that Lenovo. Notwistanding the price.

It doesn't have to weigh a lot. The max battery you can get for regulatory reasons is 99 watt hours and that's slightly more than a pound.
