minus-squaremed@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 hours agoIt’s roughly the same package as the middle power choice for framework, so similar. Battery is very similar, so’s the GPU and RAM. Only big difference is the screen, which framework nailed. The framework 13 is almost a full lbs heavier than the 14 inch lemur pro.
minus-squareTrickDacy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-25 hours agoHuh, my framework 13 has 5 hr battery life (advertised) so I’m confused. It’s only a bit over a year old. Edit: apparently that’s been improved, they now say “all day battery life” so I must’ve bought mine at the wrong time :'(
minus-squarehanke@feddit.nulinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 hours agoThis might not help a lot but here is my FW13 story. I got it somewhere around 2024/2025 and the battery life was very bad. Like a couple of hours tops. I was sad, but lived with it for a while. Then when I started using NixOS (love it) the battery life improved dramatically. I think it is because I configured some Framework-hardware-specific configuration thingy that was made for the device. So making sure you have the right firmware or whatever really does change a lot. I don’t think it’s even close to 18 hours, but it is way better than before. Also, setting the screen to 60hz instead of 144hz might save you some battery. Good luck!
minus-squareHanrahan@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 hours agois the 13 Pro different to the 13 though ? i.e powerdraw and battery size ?
minus-squareTrickDacy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 hours agoYeah, it is. That was part of my misunderstanding but also the advertised battery life is now much higher than it was a year ago (on non-pro model)

Any clues on repeatability? How is it?
