Why not buy hardware that doesn't suck?
I still have a Thinkpad for my primary laptop, but using a mac with retina, 5-10hr batt life, and a nice touchpad for work is such a joy compared to a 1080p matte screen with 3hr battery life.
- deadmutex 6y agoI mean, there is a wide range of products here. If we're comparing anecdotes, I have a personal MBA with a TN panel with less than 1080p screen, and crappy built-in webcam. But it is not fair to compare it to another laptop I use which was designed and manufactured later. Keep in mind that battery life is not just about hw, and requires careful tuning of the OS. However, the OP is talking about running linux on it, so the batt life will definitely NOT be as good as running MacOS.

- saagarjha 6y ago> 1440p > i7 Surely you're joking?
- deadmutex 6y agoCare to elaborate? Is it because 1440p + i7 is power hungry or something?
