I use an M1 Macbook for work and I also have a Framework for personal use and... yeah.

I adore the Framework but I really wish there was a REAL non-Apple competitor in the laptop space. The M1 is just _so_ quiet and fast, I really have to try hard to get the fan to spin up. Can't really speak for battery life since it never leaves my desk where it's plugged in haha.

It's a shame I despise macOS so much or else I'd use this work laptop for personal stuff more often.

I did an idle battery life test. 1% per hour. Turned on, with the screen off, and an active SSH session.

That's better than many x86 laptops in full-on sleep mode. With the OS running.

People underestimate just how good modern power management can get when the vendor cares.
