I imagine because it may optionally be charged via USB-C that the Pinebook Pro is 5V. If that's correct, that'd mean 10,000 mAh would provide 50Wh. If the Pinebook Pro draws 2A (just to put a theoretical but not unrealistic number out there), that means up to about 11 hours battery life. There are loads of factors to consider like screen brightness setting, whether audio is being played, the clock speed (ie., is it doing accelerated video at the time) and so-on... so it'll be really neat to test some real-world use cases... which will come!!
Due to the Smartphone lineage of the electronics I'd assume a single cell setup for the battery. With a cell voltage of 3.6 - 3.7 Volts that would translate to 36 - 37 Wh. I'm pretty optimistic we'll get a decent mileage out of the system. And as the system can be charged via USB-C its easy to double the capacity by means of a power bank.
