Heat seems just as big an issue as battery life, if not bigger. Can i9-12900HK-equipped laptops really exist in the same highly convenient size/weight bracket as the new MBPs and make use of all that power without extreme fan noise, extreme chassis heat, and/or extreme thermal throttling? My past experience with Intel mobile CPUs says no, absolutely not. Honestly, my past experience with Intel mobile CPUs versus my current experience with my new MBP says I will never buy one of the former again, ever, unless it's otherwise a truly special machine or I have no choice. I will admit that I'm not really the target market for the big, chunky laptops that can make a 75W+ TDP anything but miserable, because I have a desktop machine that still wipes the floor with anything in that segment. The truth about the M1 Pro/Max SoCs is that they won't give you the absolute hottest performance around in CPU or GPU, but they will give you legitimately great performance along with other attributes that are best-in-class taken together, mainly size, weight, battery endurance, and thermals. And those things do matter to a lot of people.
