Have not used an intel CPU since 4th gen. That was the last gaming PC I built and then my work got me started using macs. I don’t know if I could go back from the efficiency of the apple M line chips in a laptop form factor. I think it’ll be interesting to see if the rebrand does anything meaningful in the fight between their Core series and AMDs ryzen🤷🏻♂️
I have 2 systems and both are AMD machines with impressive performance per watt (obviously not as good as Apple's M series). Intel has a long way to go before they can be a genuine alternative.
I'm not an apple fan at all, but switched to a pro book for the M2s. The difference in power consumption and battery life is just on a whole other level from everything else out there.
The main issue is actually Windows and it’s awful standby behavior. It’s a known issue but nobody knows if it’ll ever get fixed.
The windows standby issue doesn’t get enough airtime for sure
