The battery drain while in sleep is my only real complaint about my X13 AMD. That and sometimes things get weird with volume controls when plugging and unplugging headphones (never had that issue with any of my Intel Thinkpads). Other than that, it's by far the best laptop I've ever had, including a 2020 MBP.
