Yes and no, Intel's Meteor lake is a significant step up in efficiency, obviously not quite Apple's M-series level yet, but the performance is better with graphics and CPU. The weight argument's fair. I carry around a relatively heavy Framework the whole day, and I don't particularly mind. That said, the chassis is high-grade magnesium, not exactly plastic.
