Power Draw
#1
Hi,

I got my Pinebook Pro 2 days ago and so far I appear to get slightly less than 2 hours of battery life. I have seen others write that they get 8-10 hours so I am wondering what can be done. energy-rate is between 15-20 W when ony doing light web browsing with the screen at a very low brightness. I have attached a upower -d log. Thanks.
