I have a feeling that a big part of the amazing performance of Apple's laptops, both in terms of battery life and actual "real" speed, is that the software is extremely fine-tuned to a chip that Apple controls. It may be practically impossible to compete at that level for other vendors, but I really hope that improvements in this area can be made.

The funny thing is that Apple's laptop and deskop machines were honestly not very good until you hit the highest end of the price scale, up until the M1 lines came out. Since then, it has been really impossible for competitors to reach even a quarter of overall day-to-day performance for anywhere near the price.
