Terrible battery. Maybe amd would change this but these are not shipped yet

That’s a shame and a shame 18650 packs aren’t as viable anymore compared to custom sized lipos. 18650 sockets would be a dream for a laptop. It’d be like a kids toy, just pop out the batteries and swap in new cells when it’s dead. Better yet do 4-6x 21700s.

for me, I don't want to swap batteries, I want a laptop that can work a lot on it's own and have proper sleep state. After trying m1 mac, I don't see myself buying anything else just bc battery life is so good and absolute lack of noise for Air model, even if it's worse for repairability. I'd better buy a new mac with good experience than buy a rapairable/upgradable framework with much worse power consumption (and trackpad)

I’m not in the USA, so warranty on these alternate brands is a nightmare.

My Lenovo is ok, but I don’t see it continuing forever. I’d say they’re riding on the fact they were part of IBM.

They have be "riding" that for a long time now.
