[02:01] IsambardPrince I can actually use the laptop for about 9 hours on ChromeOS with a 12th Gen Core i5 1235U. [02:02] IsambardPrince This isn't competitive with ARM, but it's a lot better than what I was seeing on Tiger Lake which was 6-7 hours maybe. [02:03] IsambardPrince HP included an old style charger, but I had a GaN one laying around. [02:03] IsambardPrince Those are smaller and more energy efficient. [02:04] IsambardPrince I don't know whether Intel is a good bet or not at its massively devalued price. [02:04] IsambardPrince One wonders how much more they can fuck up. [02:04] IsambardPrince I'm surprised by how much hardware HP packed into this thing for the price point. [02:04] IsambardPrince The era of $1000 laptops is over. [02:05] IsambardPrince It's a major problem for Intel and Microsoft. [02:06] IsambardPrince Microsoft adds unnecessary cost to the PC with Windows, and makes Windows such a slow piece of shit you have to buy the most expensive Intel processor to run it.
