İ am using pop os with my rtx4060 laptop. İ consider to switch an office laptop. İ will use it for editing and coding. İ love linux and open source but have to admit that mac is something different to me. İt is perfect. İ hate it is a product of apple but they did it really well. But also i want to use linux. But i cannot take 12 hours battery with linux laptops. İ could have buy tuxedo infinit book 14 pro but they dont ship to my country. What should i do?

    How often do you work for 12-14 hours straight without any access to electricity?

    If Linux is actually of any interest for you, giving up on it because of a few hours of battery life, feels weird for me. Why not invest in a power bank or make it work some other way.

    With that said. You’re obviously free to use whatever you want to. I personally can’t stand Apple and their incredibly barebones, limited and locked down operating system.

      It’s not 12-14 hours of straight working. It’s 12-14 hours without charging. Sometimes it’s just not convenient. Do you always go home from work and remember to charge your laptop? Never forgetting, consistently every day doing this?

      Plus thanks to S0 standby using so much power just the laptop being in sleep is a decent battery drain.

        Yes…?

        Do other people really have a problem doing this?

          I don’t know about you. But when I get home my work laptop stays in my backpack, and I don’t think about it. I need a laptop with enough battery life that I can get into work the next day and get through a 4 hour meeting without worrying if it’s going to die regardless of what I was doing the previous day.

            It always stays in your backpack at home, and your meeting rooms at work don’t have electricity?

                Talk to the person in charge of the meeting room. Every meeting room should have good ventilation, electricity and water. It’s like human rights kind of stuff. :D

        I don’t understand. A laptop computer on standby lasts days on battery?

        If I had to regularly use a laptop computer I would charge it every day when I got home. It would just have been part of the daily routine I have when I get back home from work.
