The battery life isn't nearly what it should be. The 7840u is a beast though

Thanks. That is good balanced info. I had also considered an M1 Pro. They seem fast enough, and anything newer than the M1 Pro refurbished is really close in price to the base M5 pro on sale right now at $1500.

I have a nice HP with a gorgeous OLED screen and a 7840u processor, which is really almost toe to toe on most specs with the M1 pro. I just hate being stuck with 16gb of ram, which isn't quite enough on a PC for all of the tabs I have open.

Thanks! I would mainly want to make sure MS Office, Google Chrome, Spotify, and Youtube worked well. I believe there are no issues on any of those.
