    Not disagreeing with the sentiment, but that’s a poor argument. The m3 has far better power efficiency than anything built 10 years ago and the battery life that allows is one of the leading drivers in selling anyone new technology.

      I’d argue that they don’t really take advantage of efficiency though. Instead of longer SOT, they opt for smaller batteries with similar SOT to the older models in order to make the devices thinner.

        Your argument is provably wrong. Compare the battery life of any modern M series mac to it’s windows equivalent and you’d find that the Mac is significantly better. The MacBook pro 16 even fits the maximum allowable battery size at 99wh.
