If battery life is your main criteria, the thinkpad x260 gets 17+ hours of real world usage battery life, and the x250 gets over 22 (from what I remember) if you add the superbay battery.

There's a reason pro users pay the Apple premium for laptops. But I wonder if Apple is really making a smart choice. Alienating the tech / UNIX people, as few as we may be in the grand scheme of things, may hurt them in the long run.
- Tiksi 10y agoThat's why I said "If battery life is your main criteria" in hopes of avoiding this kind of predictable response. People have different preferences/needs. Pro users get plenty of non-mac laptops with "high quality chips" (I didn't know Intel made them worse for everyone but Apple) and hardware. Also the x2xx Thinkpads are probably far, far more durable than any macbook, but that's unrelated to battery life.

- etatoby 10y ago"High quality chips" wasn't about Intel, we all know they are reliable. I'm talking about dodgy wifi, audio, ethernet, etc. chips, that offload their work to the cpu to save on silicon, have crappy drivers, or are otherwise flaky. That's been my experience with non-Apple laptops.
