if you need to compile linux kernel on the go often then i would advise you to have an always on workstation\server that you use to do the heavy lifting that you then just access remotely form the macbook..
doing heavy compiling work on any device will eat away your battery faster then when you do general use..
but even then, with that workflow while macbook might not give you the many hours of battery that apple brag about, it will still give you more time on battery then then most devices..
- mmaniac 2y agoIf you log into a workstation to do all your work, a Chromebook will suffice.
- tmottabr 2y agoyou don't necessary need to be logged to a workstation to do all your work.. You could develop de code locally in your macbook in a nice interface, when you are ready to compile then you push the code to a remote git repo in your workstation that also would trigger the compile job, tests, etc.. Do the CPU light work locally and the CPU intense jobs remotely in a system that can have more powerful CPU proper to the task while also freeing your laptop from the burden this CPU intensive job that will make it hot and burn trough the battery.. but yeah, this workflow could work in whatever laptop\os you want, from a chromebook to a macbook..
