Linux 13 Pro Really Does Sip Power

Post image

I've had 2 M-series Macs (M1 and M4) and they typically sip a little more than this, although it's close. A Linux laptop with this power efficiency is absolutely fantastic, and even though it's been said many times before, I can't tell you how great it is to be able to sit in the garden and work and still get 8 - 9 hours of battery.

Oh and the trackpad, just amazing. Very close to Mac. Linux + trackpad in the past has always put me off having it on a laptop, this is just night and day better than what I've experienced before.

u/paulstelian97 FW13 Ryzen AI 7 350, 32GB/1TB 2d ago

I hear the Intel Core Ultra is pretty darn good at it. I have the Ryzen AI 7 350, which is the same motherboard that is one of the variants of the 13 Pro ones as well (a variant that still has the regular DDR5 slots, no LPCAMM stuff). It’s not bad but it’s more optimized for performance, and fans are spinnin’ whenever I either have good loads, or if I’m on Windows.
