I'm seeing similar, maybe closer to 8 if it's mostly browsing and light IDE work, and I never run full brightness.

I should probably chime in on the forum, but per that thread I tried Wayland but it didn't go so well, particularly with an external monitor plugged in. Too many misbehaving and misscaled apps, I remember having issues with vscode (scaling) and either kitty or alacrity (can't move or adjust window).

Interesting, that is very good to know. I have yet to try external monitors (will be plugged in tomorrow morning for work), but have been waiting on switching to Wayland to see if it’s necessary or not.

Great to hear about the 8 hour duration as well, I’m absolutely loving this new toy!

I should point out Wayland isn't all-or-nothing; if you enable the config from that post, it's an option you can select when logging in. I never had to "go back" from Wayland, I just stopped selecting it, and can try it out again whenever.
