This is honestly not my experience though. I'd like to know what vendor and model are you using (and get so much problems). Also I don't have experience about heat management issue either. On the other hand, the intel mac I used before is just underpowered and have giant issues about heat management. Every single mac-pro in my office apartmentmet have an early battery fail at really low cycle count. (And it's also just underpowered thus make working painful)

The most recent experience was a ThinkPad T14 G2, which had, in addition to my negative experiences that were not defects, enough hardware defects that they eventually sent me a new Intel model because I had RMA'd it so many times for failures.

I replied to the earlier comment too, but wanted to agree - my AMD (framework 13) has been about as seamless as reasonably possible (Microsoft shenanigans not withstanding.)
