JS96184936yThe max seems to be 18 hours: Lenovo ThinkPad T470
Not sure if you decide to use it for all the stuff you listed (especially the IDE). -
@JS96
Good to know, i like thinkpads very much (i own one right now doesnt last more than 2-3 hours)
Might be a solution with an extra battery if possible
Thanks -
as far I've googled the laptops with longest lasting battery last for 16 hours with an expansion battery pack attached.
However, if a laptop suports usb-c charging you could get a external baterypack like the ones from Anker or RAVPOWER.
that way I probably get 18 hours out of my 12" macbook. -
hawkes15726ySome good products (16+ hrs):
Dell XPS 13 2018
HP Spectre
HP ProBook 440
HP EliteBook
LG Gram
That's not to say they last this long with a VM running or under load -
Thanks all
I guess i will have to go with something like lg gram or thinkpad plus a battery charger (way less heavy and cumbersum then juggling with multiple laptops)
All what's left to check is if battery charger are allowed in flights -
@sergiolarosa89 solid advice thanks
Unfortunately it does not apply to my use case
It's more for web related dev on very long trips
Vms can be:
Local jenkins container
Local gitlab
Local taiga
Container spawned by jenkins to do code quality/complexity checks and QA
Erlang vm when needed
Things get pushed/synced when possible -
@Paramite awesome idea for a laptop that can hang for more then 3 hours
I will need like 8 batteries
I am pretty sure if i try to board a plan with that much in my bag i will be in the news 🤣
PS: we need giphy integration -
lyckligtax26yLenovo ThinkPad T480 ... 2 batteries so you can swap them on the go :-)
Also superb battery life with each battery -
lyckligtax26y@AlpineLinnix I'm using the s variant myself cause it got 2 heat pipes for the cpu alone whereas the normal 480 just got one for both cpu and gpu ... So far it is a superb notebook with awesome battery life and massive amounts of power ... i5, 16gb ram 512 Samsung 960pro nvme ... It's a beast
