When I think of my E-Bike battery of ~400Wh that can keep going for ~100km (admittedly, with some assistance), I'm surprised this laptop can only go for 16h on that.

The energy required to move 80kg (me+bike) 25km is significant.

Good battery, good customizability, but I'm wondering:

- Who is actually producing these? Are they resellers? For whom?

- They mention TuxedoOS. Why? Can you have the same experience with a vanilla Debian or Arch?

- Customs costs. They may inflate the price quite a lot depending on where you are

Well, look at the power outputs of bikers. 100 watts can probably get you to 15mph in flats / no headwinds. so that.... well, 400 watt-hours for 60 miles!

Meanwhile, gaming rigs are coming with kilowatt power supplies now, maybe even more.

Laptops try to be more efficient, yeah, but 100 watt-hours in sixteen hours is 6.25 watts sustained.

Did I math that properly?

I have to replace my aging xps 15 soon, anyone has any experience with those? It looks great on paper, how does screen and touchpad quality compare to an xps / macbook?

The only reason I wanted to get a macbook is because of its impressive batter life. I've been looking at Tuxedo laptops a while ago, but the battery durability was still a concern. Looks like this is not the case anymore, so will definitely consider buying this one soon.
