					## Update 2024-11-10

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					In the last couple of months, battery life has improved significantly. As
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					described above, in summer, battery drained almost completely (from ~90% to
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					~15%) within 3.5 hours even without heavy workload.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Today I spent about the same amount of time on a train, working constantly on my
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					laptop (browsing, downloading articles), and the battery level only dropped from
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					~90% to ~40% within 3 hours. Some system update, be it a kernel update or some
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					other software running in the background, must have reduced energy consumption
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					considerably :-)

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					(I am well aware that there are laptops whose battery run time is in an entirely
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					different ball park, and even some of my own Thinkpads used to do better, but
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					I'm overall quite happy with battery life on this machine with bright 3k display
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					and dedicated GPU. I _could_ have bought a machine which can run on battery like
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					forever, but that's not my use case and plus, I'd never buy anything else but a
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Thinkpad...)
