I always ask about battery consumption... Apple seems to be on another galaxy right now. I decided to stop waiting and installed Parallels to run Ubuntu there... I really wish the best for Asahi Linux.

The M3 Max laptops can cross-build FreeBSD at a fraction of the time of the ThinkPad, being at around 791 seconds for `make -j17` versus the T14s being at 3210 seconds (with `make -j12`) according to the post above.

No idea about power consumptions.

It still scares me.

One is $1000 and the other is around $3000. So performance per dollar looks about right.

Not only performance per dollar but also battery duration/consumption.
