How is the battery life on Asahi (eg 16in MBP)? I'm debating this versus the HP Elitebook 865[0], which has 64GB ram, top spec Ryzen, and a 72whr battery. They claim 22h battery life, and 13h of youtube playback.

I have heard a glowing review of this hp elitebook 865 with Ryzen from someone I know. Although they only use Windows. I’m quite interested in knowing if it can sleep/wake-up like a Mac on Linux. This is my practical choice for a personal Linux machine.

Good to know! I'm also considering the Schenker[0] with 99wh battery, or the Starbook[1] as they seem to be linux friendly

Looks like the Schenker laptop you’re considering has an Intel 12* series cpu. As far as I know it has botched S3 sleep states which means that the laptop won’t properly go to sleep.. instead draining the battery while the lid is shut in a backpack. Hence my interest in the AMD cpu.
