I have a Z13 with AMD (not Intel) & after a year of heavy use exclusively on Linux, I still regularly get 5–11 hours battery and sleep/hibernate works fine. There’s not too many situations where I wouldn’t have an opportunity to charge in there. Previous Intel laptops (even Evo) could barely get 6 & I’d need to carry a power brick to a café if I needed to compile like anything.

So AMD is better on battery nowdays? Seems I need to save up and try one with fedora.

Thanks for sharing!

I wish I could love AMD, but after being hit by the drm/amd#1455 bug, I can't ever. I'm quite happy with intel and my battery life is the same as when I used windows, so all is fine.
