I've been comparing these laptops, considering a move from an old Macbook to a Linux laptop.

You're right that the M1 line is ahead in terms of hardware, but there are other factors at play. For me it's about "voting with my dollar", what I want to be supporting - i.e., not macOS or Windows.

I don't get the obsession with the M1. The Intel 12900h is equal at 45w and substantially faster at higher wattages. Same goes for the AMD 6900HX which also scales really well into lower wattages. Dedicated GPUs of course mop the floor with Apple IGPs, admittedly with more energy. All that with a cheaper and less dense architecture. The fact that Apple - a company with 14 times the market cap of Intel and AMD and exlusive access to TSMC 5n for their PC processors - has failed to beat them is embarrassing.
