    I love my ARMed Mac because battery life. I almost never use the power cable outside.

      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

              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
