If you care about battery, well you need to consider macbook, they have better battery management, just I don't know how it's under linux. 2nd if it's design, go twith macbook. If it's not then always go with Thinkpad.
I have a Z13 with AMD (not Intel) & after a year of heavy use exclusively on Linux, I still regularly get 5–11 hours battery and sleep/hibernate works fine. There’s not too many situations where I wouldn’t have an opportunity to charge in there. Previous Intel laptops (even Evo) could barely get 6 & I’d need to carry a power brick to a café if I needed to compile like anything.
So AMD is better on battery nowdays? Seems I need to save up and try one with fedora.
Thanks for sharing!
I wish I could love AMD, but after being hit by the drm/amd#1455 bug, I can't ever. I'm quite happy with intel and my battery life is the same as when I used windows, so all is fine.
I care about both design and battery, but I'm willing to compromise on battery because I'll still depend on x86 for games and some other stuff I believe. I like the design of the thinkpads too, black + red is a very kino combo.
