An H series processor sounds like it would be awful in a machine like that. Intel already struggles with battery life so unless Meteor lake does magic I'd expect I'd get sub 2 hours of battery life on that machine.

Are there any reviews out there yet?

For CPU, It seems like meteor lake has caught up with M2.

Skimming thorough the video that looks promising. Does he delve into the power levels of these machines? There's H series CPUs are rated for PL2s of 115+ watts and there's no way they're hitting those levels in those thin of machines.

Battery life is still lacking considering that those machines have bigger batteries, but it looks like a huge step up. I'm looking forward to a new P1 with these CPUs and 4000 series GPUs to potentially upgrade my P1G4, but I might hold off a bit longer for next gen USB C/Thunderbolt. Maybe with a 90 watt hour battery and those CPUs I could get more than 30minutes-2 hours of battery life.

Yeah, for heavier load, Meteor Lake and M2 seem to be close; but for light load, M2 is still much better.
