<KipIngram>
Yee haa - new computer has shipped.
<f-a>
super
<f-a>
which one
<KipIngram>
Thinkpad Carbon X1, with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD. Factory equipped with Linux.
<f-a>
super
<f-a>
how big is the screen
<KipIngram>
First computer I've bought "for me" in over nine years.
<KipIngram>
I've been piggy-backing on my employer-supplied computer.
<KipIngram>
14"
<KipIngram>
But supposedly by having a very thin bezel - same package as the usual 13".
<KipIngram>
I'm very accustomed to 13" screens; that's plenty for me.
<f-a>
I have ordered a mk III from starlabs
<f-a>
hope it will be good
<KipIngram>
They CLAIM 19.5 hour battery life under certain conditions.
<KipIngram>
That will be great if it happens. That's the one reason I might send it back - if the battery life turns out puny.
<proteusguy>
Sweet.
<KipIngram>
I don't insist on getting the whole 19.5, but I do insist on getting at least as long as I can get with the MacBook Air I'm using now.
<KipIngram>
Apple does quite well on battery life
<KipIngram>
What I basically want is to have WiFi on and my browser open, along with a console screen, Slack, and Discord, and have it power through a full (long) workday without having to be charged.
<KipIngram>
I don't game or watch movies (usually), or do other high consumption stuff like that.
<nihilazo>
web browser, slack and discord are high consumption
<nihilazo>
lol
<nihilazo>
inefficient af rendering tech
<KipIngram>
I know.
<KipIngram>
But I need those open.
<KipIngram>
I can get 12-13 hours under those conditions on the MacBook.
<KipIngram>
The conditions they cited 19.5 at was WiFi off with a 720p video looping.
f-a has left #forth [#forth]
<nihilazo>
oh wow ok
<KipIngram>
Slack is how I communicate with coworkers, and I hang in Discord because I help moderate a Reddit sub.
<KipIngram>
It's the sub about an urban fantasy series that I've enjoyed.
<KipIngram>
Most of the stuff I actually DO, in a hands on way, is in console
<KipIngram>
But I do usually keep a whole slew of browser tabs open.
<KipIngram>
Lemme see how many right now...
<KipIngram>
Looks like 33 at the moment.
* KipIngram
is a man of... diverse interests.
<siraben>
KipIngram: interestingly many people report that Apple actually tends to undersell their laptop battery life, even before M1
<KipIngram>
Yes, I was taken wholly by surprise at how good it was on the battery life front.
<KipIngram>
I've had two of them now; they refresh us every few years.
