Framework Laptop 12 - Battery Life

[Helio_Rocha]

Hello

I’ve pre-ordered a FW12 last week. I don’t have a main use case besides liking the brand and loving this small form factor.

I would like to know the estimated battery life. No need to be set in stone, a ballpark works for me.

I was wondering about this too, and here’s an estimation someone made. Not sure how accurate it is, but it’s something:

Since the i5 1335u used in the FL12 has an average idle (the workload that you would be using it for would be idle-ish) system power draw of 5.6w in video playback and 3.8w in web surfing. (for the whole system idle according to my calculations), and the average power draw of the Ideapad 5 2 in 1 is 8.9 watts. The math checks out to 8 hours for the Ideapad and a little over 9h for the FL12 in video playback and 13 in websurfing. Again, these are mildly educated guesses from a tired speculator, take these with a bucket of salt.

oh it’s probably not, but I did my best to use systems with the same configuration. Also note that its a comparison to a lenovo laptop, and I trued to use total system idle/non load power draw of a system with as similar of a configuration and then calculated battery life based on the fact that the battery is 50wh. It’s not perfect definitely but it should be a ball-park ish estimate.
