hows battery life?
- ntw1103 5y agoReally depends on what I'm doing. under very heavy usage, it usually last 3 hours. If I'm trying to conserve power, and lower the brightness, I usually can get 5-6 hours.
- necovek 5y agoI have X1 and battery is great. The main issue I have is that it's almost impossible to have full screen video calls on external 4k displays: cpu starts frying and audio starts dropping. I think I've managed to get hw accel set up, but it's so confusing nowadays I am never sure (with Xv you knew where you stand :)). For that reason only, I'd look for a Ryzen APU next (T14 has it as an option). Edit: T495 GP brings up is Ryzen too. The only drawback with them is no TB3/eGPU.
- gtirloni 5y agoI've noticed that plugging a 4k monitor to the HDMI port doesn't work so well (bad refresh rate). I think it's a limitation of HDMI, not sure. I use the Thunderbolt dock and plug the monitor there. It works great.
- necovek 5y agoOh yeah, it has HDMI that can only do 4k30p, I use TB3 cable to a TB3-enabled monitor (though there are passive DP-over-TB3 cables in the DP-passthrough mode which can work with regular USB-C too).
