When rest mass is stated in energy units such as eV, they're calculating it using E=mc^2.
power-profiles-daemon works well, I didn't like how much the battery drains overnight on the s2idle suspend mode, so I've set up a systemd unit to hibernate after 30 minutes of sleep.
I don't like comparing the two, they're completely different workloads and it's better IMO to look at the IOPS for random transfers, which is where newer, faster SSDs truly excel, and where most people "notice" the performance.
That being said, it's definitely more expensive than much of the competition is for similar specs. I don't mind paying a little extra to vote with my wallet and the build quality has exceeded my expectations. I'm gambling on them supporting this chassis design for a few more generations, so I can buy the very last motherboard upgrade that they release and extend the life of this machine a little further.
Maybe a simple mechanical clicker device like those used for dog training could be a useful tool.
