A balance is what's best for most people buying laptops — not the fastest, but fast, quiet, cool, and efficient.
Laptop manufacturers have a tendency to lean into the performance aspect at the steep cost of the other three aspects because it's easy to dump more power into the CPU and push the fans harder to make up the difference. Achieving balance takes engineering chops that many of these manufacturers lack or don't care to procure.
