I've enjoyed my ThinkPad X1 to hit that target envelope for years. For me, it was the sweet spot between power / performance / size / weight / heat / noise ... without feeling "hobbled".

That feeling of being "hobbled" kept me out of a Mac ... up till now. If the SOC Mac didn't exist, I'd be upgrading my X1. But, the SOC M1 / M2 has raised the bar, such that "hobbled" isn't part of the equation. Instead, more performance and less heat (I work off my lap, literally) is duly noted.

Folks can run all the benchmark tests they want ... but, my thighs can definitely tell the difference (without a benchmark).
