The Dell XPS and Framework laptops already far exceed MacBook Pro battery life.
- sam_lowry_ 5mo agoO'rly? Also when suspended to RAM? Framework AMD versions specifically?
- simonjgreen 5mo agoThe Intel 13th gen will draw ~1% per hour while suspended to RAM. My findings on it: https://sjg.io/writing/suspend-battery-drain-framework-13-ubuntu/ https://sjg.io/writing/suspend-battery-drain-framework-13-ub...
- sam_lowry_ 5mo agoThanks for the detailed write-up. IIRC my Thinkpad T14 G2 has S3 and it draws 0.3% per hour, pretty much in line with what Macbooks draw when sleeping.
- delamon 5mo agoAnother data point: AMD T14 G4 with s2idle draws about 0.4% per hour of sleep.
- seabrookmx 5mo agoThe Framework 13 absolutely does not touch the MacBook Pro battery life in any of its current configurations, though the upcoming 13 pro promises to. I have a Ryzen 5 AI 340 powered machine and average about 6 hours. I might be able to stretch that to 7 if I dimmed the screen a bunch and only did light web browsing. This is closer battery life to MacBook Neo, not an Air or Pro under the same workload.
