> The biggest thorn in an otherwise solid laptop is probably AMD’s platform power draw. We’ve only tested two Raven Ridge laptops so far, but the idle power draw of each was remarkably consistent, falling within 40 mW of each other.
Agreed – my HP ENVY x360 has substandard battery life under light loads.
@bwDraco heh, despite the chipset and cooling solution in a Macbook Pro being tiny and the unit having tons of space reserved for batteries, I get like an hour and a half of gaming unplugged from the battery on Vega 20 :P
at idle on the iGPU it's kinda meh, not great but at least you can get multiple hours of web browsing / word processing, but you have to be careful of programs that ordinarily ride the CPU pretty hard, like Discord (thanks, Chrom(ium) et al!)
of course, the hexa-core i9 uses more power than the quad-core i7, so the Intel side of the house is also drawing more power on this laptop than "normal" for a MBP
the combination of one or two Intel cores running with turbo boost and the Vega 20 running at max clocks under heavy utilization just destroys these batteries

This does not provide a DIY, an easy way, to fix a Hard Drive. How very sad. A firmware provided by an industry addresses issues at a platter level and not at a sector level, discouraging self effort.
@Bob I just went all HULK SMASH on my Sony cans' carrying case :D
insert in the middle that is supposed to hold your USB cable / adapter? BLEEP it. I used brute force to rip it out by the stitches because it was keeping the headphones from fitting properly and I didn't have the patience to figure it out at 4:47 AM when I need to get on the road

...I have to find this function which is located at some project on our gitlab instance. But unlike github you can't search by code, just project title and other metadata...
@MichaelFrank Yeah, replacing a shortcut with a broken shortcut is "meh" whereas replacing home with a shortcut is "I'll never use this OS / distro ever again".
