You can do that with a 12th/13th gen too, though it depends on what “work” is. I’m not sure there is any laptop that would last a day using the average enterprise setup (two IPSes, three “endpoint protectors”, two AVs, heavy WMI scripts constantly running and MS Teams always open), simply because the thing won’t get under 40% CPU during the day. The advantage of a MacBook here would simply be that 90% of the mentioned software doesn’t exist for the platform.
