Battery life is great.  I’ve stressed tested doing genetics work which involved maxing out 16 cores across a couple days.&lt;p&gt;Those new AMDs are great.  I went with the system76 because it comes with and they support Linux.  It sleeps and wakes ok too</text></comment>

I had no idea about it and it seems to be very extensive in their reviews, which I love.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;ll get a lot easier to find a good alternative now! Thanks a lot!</text></comment>
