Hey Guys, I’m an intel guy but all my research says that AMD is the way to go for battery life and performance. I plan on buying the base model of either. The month or two wait is not an issue for me, so I’m just worried about performance and battery life, or quirks (battery drain etc…). Any suggestions would be helpful.
Get about 8 hours (55wh battery) on high screen brightness with a sn770 1tb and windows 11 in power saving mode.
It’s a really efficient laptop my use case right now: external monitor 1440p 165hz via displayport, 20 chrome tabs one Ubuntu vm, word, teams, Spotify, discord, file explorer and HW monitor calculates a total battery loss of around 12 watts
I have the Framework 12th gen, I am also considering between Intel or AMD for my switch. However, for Intel comparison, I am waiting for Intel Meteor Lake for battery life and graphics performance before I decide.
That being said, my Framework is on loan to my relative at the moment for school. Once it is back, I’ll probably do my own tweaks for Alder Lake and check out battery life. Still wonder if CPU scheduling could be better.
