Best laptop hardware?

Hello! For work (where I’m compiling a big Rust monorepo in a loop), I’m on a Thinkpad T14 Gen 4 and it’s getting a bit annoying. My only constraint is that I’d like a 13-14 inch device The AI memory situation is probably to blame, but after sending a LLM fetch specs and GeekBench results, it seems that for sustained multicore performance, the only thing that comes close (within 10% but still lower) of a M5 MacBook Pro (currently ~3200 EUR), is the HP Elite G1a (ARM linux is OK), but its list price is much higher (up to 4900 EUR [https://www.hp.com/fr-fr/shop/listings/laptops?memstd=32-gb+64-gb+128-gb&processortype=snapdragon-x2-elite&scrnsizeus=14&segment=business] for 64G memory and 1TB disk) for arguably worse speakers and battery on top. So right now it’s hard to justify not getting a MacBook and that makes me sad… Is there a laptop you’re using right now that comes close enough to a MBP in long compilation jobs, but runs Linux and doesn’t somehow cost more ?
