What sort of battery life do you get on Linux, and how fast are you expecting the battery (batteries?) to degrade?
I tend to always try and find laptops with easily replaceable batteries (I've a t440s right now that I'm looking to upgrade), but the ultraslim things like the X1 look like it's a bit of a challenge, which puts me off somewhat.
- sofaofthedamned 7y agoI think around 8 hours from 100% to turn off. Bear in mind the battery is 2 years old. I don't tend to have the screen too bright (live in the UK), Bluetooth disabled etc. Also I spend most of my life in Firefox / SSH / VSCode in that order.
- growse 7y agoInteresting, thanks. I've apparently got "1:47 (53%)" remaining right now, and that's with a 6-cell slice and 3-cell built-in battery. That's just with Firefox and Citrix open. I seem to suffer pretty badly from battery anxiety, so 8 hours is a bit of a dream :)
