@kev I get around 4–6h of battery life which is good enough for me. These helped: I run auto-cpufreq on Linux, I chose a Core i5 CPU instead of an i7, an SK Hynix Gold SSD (known for power efficiency, 2TB). I also chose all USB-C expansion cards (I read somewhere that USB-A caused some drain, I believe that’s been fixed)

Everything is fast and snappy, If you’re moving from macOS, GNOME 48 is really polished & gorgeous, and you should feel at home.

@kev In the first few months, I had a few issues with Gnome freezing at times — went away quickly with kernel updates. The speakers were not too loud earlier but are plenty loud now (kernel/firmware updates). Sleep has not been an issue (I update my Linux frequently)

I’ve had one issue: some of the plastic in the charger cable has been peeling off. This was a known issue in that batch, and I’ve read in their forums that they were doing free replacements.
