I just replaced my daughter’s T14 gen 3 with a MacBook Air M2 because the thinkpad lasts 2 hours on battery and gets hotter than satan’s nuts. Terrible machine.

- happymellon 3y agoWeird, my AMD T14 gen 3 lasts 6-8 hours and doesn't get hot at all.
- cjk2 3y agoYeah that's because it's not the Intel variant :) Incidentally I get about 13 hours on my MBP.
- happymellon 3y agoI have to use a Mac for work. I'm fine not being subjected to MacOS in my spare time.
- cjk2 3y agoIt's the other way around here. I always run a different platform at home to work. It's part of keeping sane in this industry. Then again the latest macOS broke me completely. But it's not like Microsoft haven't done that several times...
- happymellon 3y agoWhich is why I'm doing great with Fedora on my personal ThinkPad.
- PennRobotics 3y agoConsider yourself lucky. I've wasted at least a full work week's time figuring out whether speaker/keyboard/suspend/lid/forcepad/stylus/overheating/GPU/scaling/dock/HID audio/application problems in my Z13 Gen 1 were caused by Lenovo, one of Lenovo's partners, the Linux kernel, Fedora, Wayland + GNOME, or just cosmic radiation.
- speedgoose 3y agoStill not enough for a long workday though.
- happymellon 3y agoNo one is productively producing for over 8 hours non-stop.
- speedgoose 3y agoTrue, but longer days happen once in a while and not having to carry a charger is nice.
