X1 Carbon still has pretty terrible battery life compared to say an M-1 Mac. I used to be a thinkpad fan having had T450s personally and then a X1-Carbon/X1-Extreme for work. While the T450s experience was mostly good the latter experience convinced me to not get another thinkpad as my next laptop because:
1. The X-1 Carbon light as it was had terrible battery life of a few hours.
2. The X-1 Extreme fans are like jet engines and often on even when I'm not actively doing anything and my account is locked.
Got the cheapest base M-1 Mac and it is dead silent, has great battery life and amazing performance. Plus the price is killer too.
- sundvor 5y agoI'll grant that the battery life isn't terrific on the Carbon. Also the M1 CPU was a masterstroke of engineering by Apple. (Having said that my new Nano is working a lot better than the previous Gen6 - seeing 7 hours remaining on 50%, with very light use, and definitely a whole lot better than the OG which has a 6 year old battery - got a refreshed after 3y, it was never great, and now says thank you after an hour or so). I really don't like the Mac OS, but that's just a personal preference - and can appreciate the above points separately. I know thousands of Mac users feel the same way about Windows; I'm just set in my Win10/WSL2 patterns now. :)
