I'm using an old Dell XPS 13. It's 10ish years old. That could be part of the problem. I'm currently using chromeOS flex on it. It's fairly usable, but I don't have audio. I really only use it rarely and for things like d&d.

I know the Macbook battery life is because it's brand new, but it's still impressive to me that she rarely has to charge it.

Mmm; that's fair. The husband had an XPS 13 (not sure if that old, though; it was the one where you could get the cover in Rose Gold) but they only use Windows so I can't say. I've mostly installed Linux (for myself) on Latitudes.

Oh, for sure; it is definitely impressive. I dunno if you already know (so, basically, I apologize if so!) but part of how Apple's able to pull that off is they manufacturer their own hardware and only install to it; so OS X's optimized to the hardware in a way Windows and Linux can't be (since they're designed to run on any hardware). I'm sure that's not all of it but it's part of it.
