OP I’m not sure why everyone is missing the point of your question, I thought it was pretty obvious. Windows/Intel laptops have had pretty embarrassing performance for a long time. I have a 4 core 1135g7 in a thin and light laptop, and the fans still run up and blast when doing anything more than Internet browsing. Meanwhile an M1 MacBook air has higher performance in just about every way and it can sustain that performance fanless and have better battery life.
Obviously any laptop CPU is going to be more constrained than a desktop CPU, both in available power and cooling. But you’re hoping that meteor lake will be a fast enough architecture that even at a low power draw will be snappy enough to confidently use for a long time on battery, unlike current Intel laptop chips.
Anyone who says apple M series laptops are in the same predicament as Intel ones is being disingenuous. There is an obvious capability gap between Intel and apple laptops in battery life, absolute performance, sustained performance, and silence.
