I am sceptical of all comparisons to the previous intel based laptops. The thermals in those were atrocious, even to the extent that Linus of Linus Tech Tips made a comment saying roughly "Apple has been sandbagging the performance of their intel laptops for years now, so that when they launch their ARM-based ones they can claim it runs at half the temperature".<p>Even the MacBook Pro, which actually has a fan, thermal throttles in under a minute.<p>Edit: found the video. About 2 minutes in: <a href="https://youtu.be/" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/</a><p>I am not saying that the M1 isnt amazing. It clearly is. But you should compare it to something that at least lets the laptop run somewhere close to optimal.
