Variable refresh rate obviously plays a role, if you don’t mind reading web pages at 1Hz.
Hopefully this is just the start of x86 laptops responding Macbooks. They've been pretty much unchallenged for most use cases (even more now with the Neo) for the past few years.

That about fits my personal experience. The dozens-of-hours-long battery life claims for laptops are based on streaming videos, but real-life battery life is always far shorter for me, as I usually use my laptop for more intensive tasks.
