      Just saying, if you had spent as much on a laptop as you did on a MacBook, you would get a full work days of battery.

      It’s the same failure point apple fans have about Android. Yeah there are cheap androids. They suck, but also they cost$100-$200 new. What’s apples offering in that price range?

        Realistically with the new apple M-series stuff this is just not the case. The battery life is absolutely nuts. Especially compared to high end Linux laptops.

          The new Snapdragon laptops are getting 15h+ of battery life, which is a couple of hours less than the new Macs (macs have bigger batteries) in the same benchmarks. The next gen Ryzen AI 300 Omnibook is said to have 20h+… but why do people want so much out of their battery? I’ve only used laptops for work and I can’t remember being more than a couple of hours at a time outside a dock.
