We heard your feedback during the launch of the Fedora Slimbook 16 and, along with the folks from Slimbook, bring you the new Fedora Slimbook 14, a smaller, lighter, cheaper with even better battery life, version of the Fedora Slimbook, powered by an Intel CPU and GPU (unfortunetely no AMD version soon).
Basically nothing comes close to macbooks with apple silicon. Even the best amd cpu like 7840u with big battery, lcd screen and no dedicated gpu will still only manage around 6 to 8 hours usage. And that's with it being clocked down to the slow as balls setting.
My wife’s MacBook Air is years old. Doesn’t even have Apple silicon.
But being able to tune the OS to known hardware helps I guess.
I get 8-10 on my AMD laptop, but yeah it's nothing like Apple unfortunately.
Which laptop and chip. The older zen 3 chips are better at battery life than the new ones unfortunately
Thinkpad X13 with a Ryzen 6850U.
I actually need to send it in for repair - I think the GPU is fucked as I get irregular crashes where the screen(s) all go black, audio keeps playing but input is broken, and other weird things, like sometimes an external monitor flickers and shifts so the left third is actually shown on the right hand side of the screen…
Yeah that chip does better. 7840u and similar does worse in mostly idle and browsing usage
