It says 14 hour battery life but how can anyone tell about future longevity? I usually find any other laptop than a macbook has poor long term life. For example I have my macbook (this isn't a pro Apple post but they have damn good battery life and power efficiency) that lasts 10 or more hours after 3-4 years and then a Dell precision 5540 that lasts 10 minutes after 1 year. These aren't exact figures but you get the…

My 3-4 year old Macbooks definitely don't last anywhere near their original battery life, and I've had plenty of MacBook batteries fail in the way of turning off under 50% battery when under heavy load. Not to mention swelling up.

Huh !? No one said 'the difference is not there'. I said the difference is not meaningful enough (for me and many other ppl, if i read the comments) and that stating that 1080p 'is simply a none starter' and it 'cannot' render text 'correctly' it not true. It can render it more correctly yes. To be really annoying even 8k wont render text 100% correctly since if there is a circle like section example 'p' or 'b' no pi…

The whole argument is silly. People coded on 21" CRT and LCD monitors at 640×480 even, and yes ... they still live! While higher resolutions look nicer, they provide no real value for a console. I've had 4x xterms on my desktop for 30+ years. There is zero "extra space" with higher dpi. None. One sad downside of things looking nicer, is the battery cost. UHD vs HD means 4x the pixels, and a GPU rendering all those pi…

I don't see the appeal of working in a café. It's like a noisy office, except you need to keep paying for your coffee. Might as well commute to the office where the coffee is part of the deal in my opinion.

If you only consider noisy cafés with bad drinks and loud people, sure, better not go there. Bit some cafés are very quiet, have delicious drinks and food, good music and are (IMO) perfect for some light to mild-focused tasks.

To be fair, it'll probably be a lot easier to replace the battery on that dell (and the system76, I imagine?) than on the Macbook. That evens things out even if the battery doesn't last.
