My System76 lasts about an hour w/o power. However you can shut off or reduce the power on your GPU and it will last longer.
- chrisseaton 8y agoWow that’s more like a desktop with a UPS than a laptop.
- TuringNYC 8y agoI work at a GPU-powered in-memory DB startup. So well...fast GPUs and memory are pretty important :-) So in that light, the System76 is a lifesaver. It is nicer than a desktop as many of us take the laptop home. Also, for light lounge usage and workshops/presentations, we usually turn off the GPU for longer life.
- acomjean 8y agoI can get 2-3 hours on my system 76 if I switch to the internal intel graphics. The machine I have requires a restart to do this. It’s one of the more annoying things because it won’t drive an external monitor without the Nvidia stack. So it’s more like a portable workstation than a “work at the coffee shop all day” kinda of note book
