1) The ARM platform was designed to be efficient, ensuring that it 
easily beats an x86 machine in that respect.

2) The Mx series of processors is built upon that platform and runs
exclusively on machines designed by Apple, all of which can easily be 
optimized for performance and battery life.

3) Linux is terrible with battery life no matter what you do, and that 
includes using tpm and cpufreq scheduler. Even if you managed to get 
decent battery life, the performance compromises needed to obtain it are 
significant whereas there are none whatsoever on the Mac.

4) The Mac outperforms a similar PC without even needing to use fans to 
maintain performance. Fans are only necessary to _maintain_ performance 
when the processor gets hot during intense workloads, like those of 
someone doing 3D design or video editing. Everyone else is not likely to 
ever hear them. Meanwhile, most PCs sound like helicopters when turned on.

Unless you're a gamer where the PC is obviously better, there is simply 
no good reason to get a PC anymore.
