For what it’s worth, the AMD 13” Framework laptop is the best Linux laptop I’ve ever had (running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). It’s cool, quiet, and very responsive. I absolutely love it.

Would you happen to have the Ryzen 5 cpu or use Linux? (I "struggle" with battery life on my R7/Win10, getting "only" around 6 hours. Fedora 40 also seems to provide similar battery life.)

  Don't know about framework, but I bought a USB multimeter to test power draw of my EliteBook. Most surprising finding was that the keyboard backlight draws an insane 2W-2.5W. That's about as much as the Ryzen 7840HS inside that laptop draws during idle.

    Thank you, I'm aware of that and keep my backlight off until the evening. Unfortunately that's not enough, but it's an important point to note!

      This is a peculiarity of the EliteBook keyboard though, my ThinkPad's kbd backlight had much lower wattage.

Does the lid wobble when you use it though?

  Not OP, but mine does not. It actually has the firmest lid of any non-MacBook laptop I've used.
