Do you guys think it is ok for a 1350€ laptop? Here is the link to the store page if you interested having a look.
Thank you for reading.
Sorry for a probably stupid question but can’t you get something with a dedicated GPU for the same price? The CPU will be worse but the machine will be more balanced for all kinds of tasks. Not for programming though.
Ye, but i don’t really game on my laptop anymore (i have one with RTX 2060 6GB), since i play only on my Steam Deck now. At this point the integrated graphic is enough to play some light games, and I’d rather have long battery life than raw power.
Then you may want something with a more power efficient and slow CPU, probably even ARM based.
Ye, but this Laptop is advertised for 10+ hours of battery life, and i don’t think i need anything better.
Wait x86 laptops can have 10 hours of battery life now? I thought 6-8 is the limit and 10+ is only possible on ARM.
Probably 10+ hours on normal usage. (Document Editor, Video Streaming etc) Anything more demanding will cut the battery life for sure.
