> How’s the battery life though compared to MacBook Air ?

Past 5h, irrelevant to me. 5h is the longest continuous amount of time I can work on a hard problem, at least without the modern amenities that come with DC power, like a cold drink, etc.

After that, I get a break, and so does my laptop, for 30 min to 1h during which we both recharge our batteries.

That's far less sexy than a laptop with 24h+ of battery life, but I like to carry my laptop in a small bag, so the AC adapter doesn't intrude much.

Actually, I have 2 bags: both feature an AC adapter. I carry either the "big" bag with a regular Lenovo keyboard (I like it) and a 65W GaN adapter from Aohi (a cube about 2cm per side, that's not your grandpa power brick) or a flat 20W adapter (shaped like a 6mm thick credit card, with foldable blades) that's perfect for my Lenovo that barely sucks 10W (I measured).

That's cool, but I don't know if your experience is uniquely yours or common, and for me at least, it's not common. I want a laptop that will last a full day without charging because when I use it as a laptop, I may be moving around, or going between meetings, or walking to lunch or a coffee shop, and I don't want to have to find a power outlet. Narcissism aside, I think more people lean towards the use case of "more battery is better".

With everything else equal, I'm offered a longer battery life with no tradeoff, I'll take it!

However, if I have to use arm binaries instead of amd64 binaries, I'm far less interested.

If I also have to use a laptop where I have little room to adjust the OS defaults, to the point of being in a walled garden, I start asking myself if I need it, and when.

I agree, but TBH with anything over 5h, I rarely need to look for one. Maybe it happens once every month?
