Not as good as I want it to be. When we manufacture our laptop chassis here in Denver, Colorado we will have more control of battery size and will always prefer longer battery life

Security focused and American manufactured (not just assembled)??

Good tools cost more, and are worth it.

Your product just went to the top of my shopping list.

Surely it is not just battery size. Do you work with any distros to optimize for battery life?

More info about this would be nice as it is, IIRC, a pain point for linux... (but I admit I didn't research this subject in recent years)
