Intel skepticism aside, I hope they can deliver on this. M-series Macs seem streets ahead in terms of battery life right now and it doesn't feel great buying any other portable.

I think in terms of actually doing stuff AMD is close in terms of power draw (W/performance) but it's the little things like going to sleep and while completely idle that the entire MacBook draws so little power that needs to catch up -- and that's not entirely on the processor.
