    You actually don’t know what you’re talking about, why are Apple fanatics so confidently ignorant. It’s performing BETTER because it has a higher thermal headroom and still runs cooler. You’re literally complimenting Apple for have poor thermals with your roundabout logic. Astonishing the mental gymnastics you’re pulling off.

      It’s performing 5-7% better for 30% less battery life while a similarly priced, slightly more expensive 14 inch MacBook has much better cooling and better features with even more battery life. This doesn’t solve a problem it makes the air a worse product by lowering battery. The air is for nothing more than light work. I can’t imagine anyone who wants one of those would say “yes I’d rather have 30% less battery life for 5% more performance and 1 C cooler on the chassis”.
