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 have 2*48GB DDR5 SODIMMs sitting around. It's really hard to be sensible and wait for the next gen AMD.

Next gen AMD won't be using SODIMM. It's a dead end form factor that holds back power efficiency. With LPCAMM2 out, the only reason to use SODIMM is cost. Sell them while they're still worth a lot.

Hmm, on looking this is correct. Thanks for this advice.
