I got a pre-order LCD Deck (256GB) from mid-October. While I don't game too much on mine but mainly do desktop work, mostly server management and web development, it holds about 3 or 4 hours depending on how heavy the task is. When I play No Man's Sky it'll last about an hour.
I can't see battery health as easily in GNOME tho. But I'm not complaining. This is while being plugged into a USB-C external 1080p OLED monitor and mouse and keyboard connected with Bluetooth.
For people wondering how the battery health is calculated, I'm guessing it's what the factory max charge was in watt hours and how many it comparably holds now during max charge. That's at least how I've seen battery health being calculated before!
