      And it’s really responsive even on battery. It’s actually a little bad because I can have too many windows open and can’t find anything.

        MacOS doesn’t throttle performance on battery like many Windows power plans do, that’s why

          MacOS doesn’t need to throttle performance because ARM and other RISC architectures are naturally very power efficient

              Well those Intel CPUs used to thermal throttle anyway in their outlandishly inadequate cooling designs so they did not need to throttle power either way. Now they could throttle power but don’t have to

      If only I could get wifi to work on a linux partition, it would be the perfect linux machine.
