I have a Z13 with AMD (not Intel) & after a year of heavy use exclusively on Linux, I still regularly get 5–11 hours battery and sleep/hibernate works fine. There’s not too many situations where I wouldn’t have an opportunity to charge in there. Previous Intel laptops (even Evo) could barely get 6 & I’d need to carry a power brick to a café if I needed to compile like anything.

I care about both design and battery, but I'm willing to compromise on battery because I'll still depend on x86 for games and some other stuff I believe. I like the design of the thinkpads too, black + red is a very kino combo.
