I don't know. I myself am planning to get a new laptop next year and I'm in a dilemma between an expensive macbook pro or an expensive thinkpad x1 yoga. Similarly priced.
If you care about battery, well you need to consider macbook, they have better battery management, just I don't know how it's under linux. 2nd if it's design, go twith macbook. If it's not then always go with Thinkpad.
I have a Z13 with AMD (not Intel) & after a year of heavy use exclusively on Linux, I still regularly get 5–11 hours battery and sleep/hibernate works fine. There’s not too many situations where I wouldn’t have an opportunity to charge in there. Previous Intel laptops (even Evo) could barely get 6 & I’d need to carry a power brick to a café if I needed to compile like anything.
So AMD is better on battery nowdays? Seems I need to save up and try one with fedora.
Thanks for sharing!
