What ultrabooks run linux well? Specifically Arch.
Yes, we're all aware that thinkpads are the best, but I really would love a light laptop with crazy battery life.
My x201 maxes out at 5 hours sadly. Thats a with a 9 cell and tlp.

you don't have a home or what?

Don't you have to jump through a whole bunch of hoops to get linux working on macbooks? And even after you manage to do it the battery life is shit because they pull a bunch of tricks in osx to extend battery.
A regular ultrabook seems like a more sane solution to me.

You must be kidding
>x1 carbon
No problem here

I was looking at the xps 13 but its expensive for what it is and you need to swap the wifi card for an intel one to get a reliable connection.
I commute to school and it would he great to not have all the outlets in a building memorized just in case my battery dies.
Also thinkpad chargers are pretty fucking huge

You mean optimization? Is that what you mean? lmao. It's called good software engineering. Not 'tricks'. And the battery life will be greater than any other ultrabook regardless. Linux is the problem, not the machine.

No its called tricks and throttling you baffoon.
And it isn't greater than an X1 carbon or a zenbook.
Apperently it's linux's fault that vendors make their little battery saving tricks propriety.

Uh huh.

enjoy your useless animeos brick
powertop and start cutting down what uses power.
Obviously use ondemand scheduler and enable wifi/sata/usb/audio/PCI power management.
