Debating between purchasing a T16 Gen 4 or a MacBook Pro 16. I'm wondering for those who have the T16 with a Ultra 5 225U processor, how long does your battery last?

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

$2800, US

• Are you open to refurbs/used?

No

• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

Build quality and battery life are the most important to me. Performance is important, but I'm prioritizing longevity and durability over that. Only looking at traditional laptop designs.

• How important is weight and thinness to you?

I travel with my laptop a lot, but as long as it fits in my backpack I'm okay.

• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

Looking for 16"-17". I work from a table, in a vehicle, or couch a lot with multiple windows open.

• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

Genshin Impact would be nice.

• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

Just want it to be playable.

• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

Smartcard reader

• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

I currently use a Toughbook FZ55, and am looking to switch to a ThinkPad T16 or MacBook Pro 16. Not really locked into a specific ecosystem, I have an iPhone and a Samsung tablet that I use. If I go the ThinkPad route I'll dual boot Linux and Windows.

I use MS Office applications and Chrome primarily. Citrix Workspace is a must, as I use a virtual desktop for work. All of the other major programs I use are internet based. I'd like cellular, but it's not a need since I can teather off of my phone. Longevity is a must, I'm looking for it to last for several years.
