battery life

So is the CPU tdp relevant to the laptop's battery life, or is the battery capacity the most important factor, since any CPU can lower it's power consumption if needed? Say 6 core Ryzen vs 2 core U CPU Thanks!

I'm curious if (as I understand that's possible), it is a good idea to do it to prolong battery life? Namely doing it in a laptop with Ryzen 5600h and 45Wh battery Thanks!

I’ve used an HP 15-ay065nr for a few years. About 1 ½ years ago I bought a Lenovo Yoga 730-131KB. The Lenovo was my favorite PC/laptop I’ve ever used…at first. Like many others, I’ve had problems with the screen being unusable due to a hardware issue where a particular wire gets caught under...

My laptop goes to 5 percent and dies super early. Thought this was suspicious and that the battery just needed calibrating. I decided "meh, why not" and just pushed the power button after it hibernated. It turned on surprisingly and stayed on. And then it went to 0% and went lasted the...

This seems like the right kind of place for a good dose of common sense, so here goes. I use a UX430 Zenbook for school and work, and long battery is important to me. Recently, I got into less casual gaming (I don't do 3D, shooters or that sort of thing. We are talking emulators for up to PS2 or...

I just bought a new Samsung Note 9 (Exynos 9810). Little did I know that the model I ordered was the EU version and not the US version, so the charger I received was unusable with any of my power sockets. I ordered an adapter online but thanks to my impatience, decided to just charge the new...

Hi everyone. I am curious, as a general rule, how much does lowering the screen brightness on a laptop affect its battery life? Like, how much longer battery life can one expect in general when running a laptop's screen brightness at 100% vs 75% vs 50% vs 25% vs 0%? Thank you.

I cannot find laptops that are no more than $400 and have a 4 hour battery life for office uses (Word and PDF documents and internet research; will not be used for games or videos). The most difficult part is finding battery life information, which is not available on websites such as Amazon or...

So the XPS 13 inch touch screen model with 3200x1800 resolution expectedly gets less battery than the 1080 model. My question, as a prospective buyer, is in theory could you not get the higher res model and just turn the resolution to 1080 when you wanted longer battery life? I am trying to...

Greetings! I'll be going to college soon and after hours of research on engineering laptops I couldn't quite find the right laptop (since every forum recommends a laptop that costs $1800 - $3000, assuming that everyone can afford such a high price). I'll cut quick to the point of the purpose of...

Time to do it. I've been reviewing laptop specs until my butt was about to merge with my chair. Battery life and durability are the most important factors (it may be taken where the power provided is solar). This laptop will be used for communication/email/surfing. I don't want a touch...
