If you get the CPU performance you can't get the battery life performance. Apples the only manufacturer that manages this. Their price reflects the reduced amount of compromises they make. If you really need good performance across the board in a laptop, the value is their. If you need a browser and office suite on a budget, the value isnt their.

Unfortunately, they still can't figure out thermals. So your CPU by default bottlenecks itself to protect the silicon.
