Idle power consumption is good, but sadly as soon as you get into near-idle/light usage (eg, listening to Spotify in the background, or even running a bash script echoing to your terminal, the power jumps a lot (I place the blame mainly on Intel 12th Gen). In my experience, despite also having extremely long idle battery life, for regular web browsing, watching YouTube, light typing tasks, my 12th-gen Framework tends to get about 5h of battery life (I tested a number of scenarios including seeing how little load was required to reduce battery life here for those that are interested: https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/2022-Framework-Lapt...)

On Notebookcheck's standardized WiFi v1.3 test, the Framework gets 447 minutes while an 8C MBA M2 gets 910 minutes (just over double).

On my most recent trip, I ended up throwing the towel and getting an MBA M2 since my Framework's battery life really wasn't cutting it and for my use cases, MBA gets over double the runtime, making it a lot more suitable for all-day travel days/transcontinental flights, media offloads, etc.
