Unfortunately, I do not have any measurement equipment.

On top of that, I discovered I was running software rendering on my Manjaro installation. When I upgraded to Mesa GIT, in order to get the newest GPU driver, the power usage got even higher.  I am going to write to Pine directly to confront them about this issue.  It is such a waste that this otherwise wonderful laptop is literally underpowered. I want to use it as my main computer already, but the constant worry about the battery level is sucking away all the joy of having it.
