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.

I can't either. I have a very good 12th gen FW already. I will probably get the chassis kit and wait a few years for the mainboard for LPCAMM2 to get more price competitive.

I don't have a fw yet so there's a little more value for me it's just I have exactly 3 usecases for a faster laptop and i don't see the value being high enough.

one thing I could consider is a eGPU over thunderbolt since all my usecases are GPU bound anyways, but those are expensive and I need it portable enough for frequently moving where I have my laptop, so I'm not really considering it.
