The video said it was a MBP for Linux users so this doesn't seem like much of a headline

i've been boggling over that part; it doesn't have anywhere near the same battery life like mac or coreboot does.

I've been reading 20 hours of battery life while streaming. Battery life doesn't improve the experience beyond a certain point, my XPS with Debian gets about 6 hours, my M1 MBA get about 8, I really don't need more than 8 hours.

I prefer standby as a measure of usefulness my MBA can sleep for weeks, my XPS can only last 4-5 days.

neat!

maybe i will get one after all...

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

I'll probably get one one once ram and storage prices come back to reality

Wait really? Even with the 13 pro's upgraded battery?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

i don't think anyone's tested that yet.

Oh ok, I thought you were referring to a comparison when you said it doesn't come anywhere near the MBP. I just heard that it's supposed to be about the same.
