## 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...)
