It's time for Intel to get its act together, even though AMD laptops are still outperforming it. The problem will be when Mediatek+Nvidia arrives in mid-2025 with ARM laptops that consume almost half of any X86. Qualcom has already done a good job in its first foray, but in mid-2025 Qualcom and Nvidia arrive again and the laptop landscape can change completely, and if Windows with ARM improves even more. In 2025 we will see a lot of competition from Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcom, Apple and that will help to create better products at a lower price.
I feel like much of lunar lakes potential is being wasted by OEMs.
If they stuck to lower resolution/Hz panels, we would be seeing significantly better battery life.
Instead they're using 1800p@120 so the net gains don't see as impressive due to all the associated overhead with it compared to a last gen device with a lower resolution/Hz panel.
Intel laptops of the last few years had bad battery life. At long last though, it seems there is a light at the end of the tunnel: Intel Lunar Lake improves the power efficiency and thus battery life. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the perfect laptop to exemplify Intel's effiency development throughout the last years.
