The "14 hours" is a huge exaggeration, but that's to be expected; every advertised battery life I've ever seen is a huge exaggeration. But I have to strongly vouch for this one; it's the first laptop I've seen that actually can actually last more than seven whole hours with Linux. Every other laptop I've tried lasts under four hours, even if it advertises twenty.

Well usually laptops don’t come from the OEM with Linux, so if you slap Ubuntu on there and the power management stinks, that’s on you.

Laptops with practical 10+ hours battery life usually come with Linux from the factory. Eg the google Pixelbook Go, which gets about 10-12 hours on a battery half as large as the one we are discussing. The System76 has mostly just thrown a gigantic battery at the problem.

My XPS 15 9570 happily lasts 10+ hours, even though it's already few years old now. Running Arch with nouveau and nvidia card disabled
