They do more than people give them credit for. 3-4 hours of battery life was too little for me.
You do need to be proficient in Linux desktop to know how to use one.
3-4 hours of battery is terrible, how proficient are we talking?
I ran Linux as my main driver for years but I wouldn’t say I was power user.
