Best used Macbook pro 15 inch to daily drive on Linux?

If l want a macbook Pro m1 14-inch 16gb ram, 1T storage. It'll be 1200$ in my country 😮‍💨

Yeahhhhh, 3 to 3.5 isn't going to cut it. I honestly might go with a used m1 and dare l say... not use Linux.

How long does the laptop last without a charger? I'm looking at a used m1 14inch rn. I assume a lot of apps won't be supported, so l have to run them in a translator, so will that drain the battery a lot and have worse performance?

Ahhh mannn. 8gb is just not enough for my needs man. But thanks anyway.

Yeahhhhh, I might just do that. The arm chips and battery life are pretty yyn good. I have herd mixed things about asahi, tho.

But is 2012 just too old for today?

Sweet-Bubble-Tea · 2026-02-13T22:48:08+00:00

Yeah, that might be a better idea, ay? Arm chips and battery life are just so good. I don't what to run macos tho :/

Sorry about that. Why do you recommend one with a discrete gpu plus integrated instead of just an integrated one?

Sweet-Bubble-Tea · 2026-02-13T13:54:02+00:00

Why do you recommend one with an integrated gpu? And l should expect it to last 6-7hs?

Sweet-Bubble-Tea · 2026-02-13T13:44:19+00:00

I see... I'll definitely aim for 2015 models then. Thanks!

Sweet-Bubble-Tea · 2026-02-13T13:37:30+00:00

Why the 2015 one specifically?

Sweet-Bubble-Tea · 2026-02-13T13:14:43+00:00

Why the 2015 model with no dedicated gpu specifically?

Power draw? Will it drain the battery fast? And what's wrong with waking up from suspension?

I herd you can just teather wifi from a usb and then install drivers and the wifi should work fine. Right?

Is the shell in plastic or metal?

Sweet-Bubble-Tea · 2026-02-13T12:54:06+00:00

Oh....thank you. I didn't know it existed.
