agreed, it seems I will get about 3 and a half to four hours with out taking
any precautions, still it would be nice to be able to get over 5 hours like
macos allegedly (so claimed in apple advertiisng and such) can on the machine.
Also linux in general on x86 laptops at least tends to get far better power
consumption (lasts longer) than windows, so it would be nice to be able to
beat the pants of macos power consumption also.
