Which notebooks are recommendable when coming from Apple Silicon-MacBooks in terms of runtime and efficiency, preferrably for Fedora or Manjaro with KDE Plasma? For now, I am looking towards Lenovo T14(s) or X1 Carbon - mixed use scenario including simple media (photos, cutting 1080p-videos, media management, Office & mail) stuff? Still love the "Lenovo"-brand and its keyboard and look 'n feel so this vendor would be my favourite.

Can anyone of you here recommend Snapdragon-devices yet which would be the best comparison as it's also architecture based on ARM? Both Fedora and Manjaro have ARM-builds so I hope that the Snapdragon-devices could get along with my desires here...

Thanks for any input!

Usually this would be the case but when you got used to runtime and performance, going to standard Intel-books is quite a step backwards. I love the effiency of ARM-based hardware, the runtime and (compared to the Air) the fanless design and was already aiming at a used T14s with 11th gen i5 - okay for the start, but in terms of specs there are quite huge differences. That's what makes it getting complicated 😀 !
