Lucie / minuteunderstandably i've gotten some questions about battery runtime of RK3588 in the MNT Reform laptop: i'm currently getting around 4h of regular work time (code editing, browsing, playing music via youtube), with encrypted ssd, wifi pcie card, usb bluetooth dongle out of pretty fresh 8x 2000mAh LiFePO4 batteries. i think this will be a bit more optimizable in the future when we can switch to direct eDP (as opposed to going via HDMI adapter) and when more power optimizations land in the kernel.
i actually let it stay on for an hour more and it reached 5h when the cells went below 3.0V, but i didn't do much with it in that hour
@mntmn Any idea when they will be for sale?
@mlarkin how do you mean? it's already for sale https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-rcore-rk3588-processor-module
@mntmn Didn't know! Will check it out, thanks minute!
lina@mntmn ooo that soo cool, also better chemistry in batteries will help too
@lina "better" depends on your goals. the LiFePO4 are greener (cobalt-free), safer, and have more charging cycles than LiIon. LiIon has more energy density.

Not bad at all. EAS and uclamp kernel features would surely extend battery life even further.
Both require some fiddling though.
Tommy Þ@mntmn you could upgrade to 2,000,000 μAh batteries
