I have an i7 Framework and an M1 Macbook that were built around the same time in 2021. I love the _idea_ of the Framework (and I prefer Windows to macOS) but you're right that comparing them isn't really fair. The Macbook has longer battery life, is faster, and is QUIETER. I do a lot of game development and doing it on the Framework, the bottom of it gets so hot that you can't touch it and it feels like it's going to burn my lap. The fan sounds like a small plane taking off and absolutely blasts out hot air. The battery only lasts ~2 hours. Exact same workload on the M1 Macbook and the fan doesn't even spin up. The battery lasts probably 6 hours. You can put it comfortably on your lap. I don't blame Framework here; I love the laptop but I don't think that a Windows/Linux machine can compete with Apple Silicon. ARM is just so much better for a laptop.
