I'm on a 6850U Ryzen Windows machine and it's really smooth. Previously I too was using an 11th gen XPS 13 but on Linux, where battery was approximately 2 hours long. This machine feels both smooth, cool and for my usages there's no slowdowns on battery either (usually running few browser windows, a VM that's not taxed too hard and an IDE).

Good to know! I almost wonder if my specific laptop is broken in some way. Either that, or I'm overly sensitive to these things. And the Venn diagram overlap of people who often use both macOS and Windows is probably not that large... :) I don't see many people talking about this!

and how many hours of battery you get on this ryzen?

Brand new laptop so haven't got a chance to really get a good sense of an average. I think depending on the workload I got 9-12 hours thus far.
