I’ve had so many different laptops over the past ~10 years ranging from Dell, ThinkPad, System76, Asus, and now a newer MacBook. I’ve used Windows, Linux, and Mac OS as a daily driver OS. The only Arm chip I’ve had is my current MacBook, but to answer your question, its power efficiency is unmatched compared to anything else I’ve ever had… resulting in crazy battery life as well as a device that doesn’t try to melt a hole through my lap whenever I try and do something even remotely taxing on it.

The efficiency had better be good that's specifically what the RISC (arm stands for Advanced RISC Machine) architecture was designed for but that's also why its terrible for general purpose. ARM is also proprietary which always stifles progress because of licensing (greed). It's one of the reasons that RISC-V is becoming popular despite being less efficient.
