My System76 laptop with Nvidia graphics is faster than the M1 Pro I have for work, has more cores, and 64G of ram means I can run all my communications stuff and an ide and a compiler and a local k3s and the machine won't break a sweat. However, the battery will drain in an hour and a half doing all that. Performance is definitely not an issue on non-arm machines. Battery life is.
