agree
while we still havent really reached good mobile budget laptops with good battery
an LG gram (22h battery and just 1kg - at least the 16inch I think) would be a dream
but still around 800€ used
acer swift 3 is also good, only around 300€ used
but also only 3-5h battery ?
at which laptops are you looking ?
I'm Linux only :D :P
The total amount spent was less than that the average prof over here spends on his/her Mac setup. :D
lool :D
cool you have the chance to play around with big setups ^^ and share it with us :>
I think if you want to go budget a mac early 2015 might be an idea. Less than 200 dollars :D

I am not sure about battery replacement stuff
I bought a ThinkPad X1 a couple of years ago when I was in China. Maybe around 900 dollars (new). At that time I didn't have to do much computational work and didn't know remote desktop-ing was a good idea. Hopefully last me 10 years :3
I think the battery duration thing is also partly related to Linux as it cannot properly optimize for long usage. I used to have a double boot on an old ThinkPad Tseries. For basic typing stuff in Latex the battery duration would be greatly in favour of Windows. I think over 30%
hmmm.. looked at the 2015 macbooks with fair eyes (though I dont really like apple ^^)
and kinda see where youre coming from :)
thanks for the tip
now I've just found some other with even better battery
but still not quite the right price, maybe used
all around 10h
Thinkpad L14 Gen1 (did it already have AMD also?)
Acer Aspire 5 515-45 or something like that with AMD
HP 14 laptops in general with AMD, maybe even Chromebooks (just put linux on it)
Thinkpad X1 was a great choice :)
I will keep watching :>
