A complete business day of battery life is "table stakes" now with premium laptops.

- The M1 Macbook Pro get 20 hours of battery.

- The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 gets 20 hours of battery.

- The Dell XPS 13 gets 19 hours of battery

Those are probably the most popular laptop models in use today in the category of premium laptops, which is the category of computer I think the majority of people reading this comment will be using.

Cheaper laptops will not be as good as that, but evenmost of $600-800 laptops will get 8-10 hours of battery life.



I'll add an LG Gram 17 to that list.

19-20 hours of battery, and a nice 16:10 screen. Also, super light.

Everything on default Fedora just works out of the box.
