I don't really understand the benchmarks and such that I've seen, but the every day user experience has been like night and day.ĭocker does a lot of weird stuff in MacOS, it's totally beyond my wheelhouse. With my Air I don't even think about plugging it in, that's a completely new experience for a laptop for me.
If I pick up my XPS to quick order some Tacos and it wasn't plugged in from the start I feel like i"m in a race to get the order in "Come on, hold on, I need tacos!!!" With my XPS the moment I put it down I think about where I can plug it in. Even under non ideal situations the Air performed well. I found the container responsible, killed it, and temp dropped quickly. It wasn't until I looked at the status bar that I saw the CPU and temp had skyrocketed. The OS ran smooth, vscode, node and everything else was running smooth. But I was on another virtual desktop and I didn't notice a thing. It pegged a CPU core to 100% for a good 45 minutes. I even had a docker container freak out on my Air recently. I don't know what it is about macOS and using their M chips but the efficiency is amazing to me. I go into the office and I don't even think about plugging it in, I know it will do fine.

My M2 Air will last nearly two full working days (I haven't pushed it that far but so far it appears it would make it), the battery life is crazy. It will last a little longer if I manually set it to "best battery life" but even that can be surprisingly ineffective for no apparent reason sometimes. My XPS battery will barely last until 1pm if it isn't plugged in, and the fan kicks on for no apparent reason. My M2 has multiple docker containers, a collection of office apps open, browsers, vs code. That's all the XPS is doing, firefox browsing HN. I have my XPS 13 browsing HN next to my M1 air. I switched from an XPS 13 to an M2 Air recently.
