Framework 13 pro with new Intel chips claims to run 20h of 4k Netflix stream, or 17h of light web browsing @250 nits. That said these numbers are with windows.

So the hardware is capable but the Linux distros aren’t quite there yet? Fingers crossed for them then. I love the idea of a Framework laptop but I’m only interested in Linux performance.

  > but the Linux distros aren’t quite there yet? I just went by what Framework said on release a few weeks or month back. Maybe you can find a more up to date Linux test somewhere. And I bet you can soon get a ThinkPad with the same intel chip, that should have similar battery life.

    > And I bet you can soon get a ThinkPad with the same intel chip, that should have similar battery life. Yes you can, speaking from experience. I have the T14 gen 7 with the 75 wh battery, and the 356H CPU, it only uses 4-6w/hour when coding with a lot of browser tabs open, a headless VM running, docker containers and so on, online meetings is about 6-8w/hour, this is under Linux, with default power setting from Opensuse. It can easily last more than 10 working hours, I limit mine to 80% charge as it's more than enough for when I'm on the go.

      Nice. I still rock the Gen 1 or 2 T14. Works for me, just wish I had a better display. It's possible to upgrade it, just so much conflicting information out there.

  Anecdotal, but a CachyOS dev seems quite happy about the 13 Pro battery life in Linux. > Its two working days. Around 15-18 hrs i get out, depending on usage and power profile. If you do heavy compilation or so its much shorter :D > Generally used balanced profile most time with intel lpmd (lpe core task util till threshold). https://www.reddit.com/r/cachyos/comments/1sstqon/comment/ohoypoi/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cachyos/comments/1sstqon/comment/oh...

Is it fanless, too? (or has the fan pretty much always off like a MBP)

  It has a fan and I don't know how much it spins up.
