> [1]: Except the 4K and video conferencing. Those actually work quite nicely for me (n=1) on Linux.

I suppose I'll add my n=1 experience that battery life has been pretty good oob.

Maybe it would have been even better in windows?

:-)

I remember playing with governor's, disabling hardware, supporting Nvidia Optimus and other stuff in Linux in order to get decent battery life (actually, i got decent out of the box. I wanted good battery life)

Was not the case on my last dual boot laptop (XPS 15), battery life was better under Linux on that.

Quite possibly.

This laptop is the first computer I've owned for myself though, and is what let me get into Linux. I tried dual booting for a while, used Windows ~2 times, and never went back.

I can get 8 - 10 hours pretty easily with Linux, and that's using GNOME, so I just haven't worried about it.
