Do you need to be in that galaxy? I easily get 8h with this $1400 64GB RAM AMD Thinkpad with an OLED screen running unoptimized Ubuntu (yes it looks 90s anonymous). An equivalent notebook for most practical purposes from Apple would be at least 3.5× more expensive.

Which ThinkPad is this? The OLED uses a ton of battery life, so either you're not pushing the system very hard or you have a very big battery.

I'm curious what you mean by that? Just that it's usually a large fraction overall? At least it's apt per pixel instead of blasting LED strips and subtracting the light we don't want with LCDs.

P16s gen 2, with the larger battery. OLED can use less power if you can keep things dark, but I don't put a lot of work into it.
