How can this be "reasonable" from a new laptop?
Maybe that's typo because I can get more from a five years old laptop under similar load.
(Although to be fair, my containers are first class citizens)
- slantyyz 6y agoI don't think I've ever gotten close to the advertised battery life from any new laptop, Mac or Windows, but I probably use a lot of apps and settings that aren't battery friendly (e.g., I prefer a brighter than average display). So when I do get 4h of battery life, I'm pretty happy.
- panpanna 6y agoWell, I have had _some_ laptops even exceededing their advertised 10+ hrs battery life but only under a _specific_ configuration (basically the one it came with. An OS reinstall would kill the battery life). Also, things have improved significantly in linux-land. Someone finally had time to turn off unused peripherals in the kernel and battery life doubled over night

Because on OSX it's a well known issue that Docker sucks up your CPU and thus battery - https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/3499 https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/3499 I get a similar 2-3 Hour battery life on my older 2017 model
