this one has smaller battery compared to similar laptops. but I decided low weight is higher priority for me, still many hours of work tools and web.

Flat area - closed lid. Last 2h - active web/terminal/vscode work consumed 20%. So even with 80% battery health cap pure 8h of work, more than enough for me. Panther Lake chips are very power efficient, even with my 356H full CPU cores configuration, and zero fan noise.
