Battery life: hopes of equalling Thinkpad X1 Carbon in the longer term?

Framework Laptop 13

do you think there’s any hope of the Framework reaching similar battery life as the Thinkpad X1

Frankly no.

  1. 2256x1504 vs 1920x1200 display on the X1
  2. Socketed DDR4-3200 RAM vs soldered LPDDR4x-4266 (LP stands for low-power) on the X1
  3. Non-USB-C expansion cards draw more power than the soldered ports on the X1

Having said that I would expect any significant improvements to be made on the standby front.
