TL;DR
Factors Affecting Battery Life
Battery life can vary significantly depending on usage patterns. Factors such as screen brightness, refresh rate, and whether power-saving modes are used can heavily influence how long a laptop lasts on a single charge [5:1]. Users often find that adjusting these settings can extend battery life considerably.
Operating System and Software Optimization
The operating system and software optimization also play crucial roles in battery performance. For instance, clearing cache regularly and setting up automatic restarts can help maintain optimal battery health over time [5:3]. This is particularly relevant for devices running complex operating systems or those with frequent updates.
Processor Efficiency
The choice of processor impacts battery life as well. Devices using more efficient processors tend to offer better battery performance. For example, laptops equipped with Apple's M1 or M2 chips are renowned for their excellent battery life due to the efficiency of ARM architecture compared to traditional x86 processors.
Brand and Model Recommendations
While specific 2024 models were not mentioned in the discussions, some brands are consistently noted for their strong battery performance. Apple’s MacBook Air and Pro lines are often highlighted for their exceptional battery life. In the Windows space, certain models from Dell's XPS series, Lenovo's ThinkPad line, and HP's Spectre series are also recognized for good battery performance.
User Preferences and Needs
Ultimately, the best laptop for battery life will depend on individual needs and preferences. Users should consider what tasks they primarily use their laptop for, as this will influence which device offers the best balance of performance and battery life. Additionally, it may be beneficial to look into user reviews and professional benchmarks for the latest models to get a sense of real-world battery performance.
Best boobs too
I think you misspelled Maria.
Can throw her in too but directly pointed to Gen
Your spot on! Gen cries everyday my family , my loved ones, my mom, my kiddos 😭. She herself told us the kids wanted her off of u tube & away from Clint. She’s hasn’t done one thing to show them that they matter, she instead said F U, I’ll do as I want. IF they are / have watched she’s only putting nails in that door, they know her better than anyone & know it’s nothing but BS & manipulation. Thing is , Gen no longer controls that narrative & it’s killing her! You want your family back, then get off u tube. SHE abandoned them for Clint way before they decided they no longer wanted her in their lives. I’m sure they love her but don’t like her. Sadly, Gens too self absorbed to even understand what that means
Sad but so true all of this. She is the only one who can do anything, no point crying to internet strangers and that includes Anne. Her own kid won’t talk to her so she is the last person she should take advice from
At this point this can apply to any of them
All take a day off to breath.
Yes she should be offline being productive and getting her family affairs in order. Her streams are not showing a healthy person if friends and family are watching.

Summer of 2016 😭
Dang you never know you are living in the good old days till they get over
Life when Nike was the Indian team jersey sponsor.
One thing to consider is the operating system. The ROG Ally X runs on Windows 11, offering broad compatibility with PC games. The MSI Claw 8 AI+ also runs on Windows 11 but has some unique features like Intel's XeSS 2.0 for enhanced graphics performance
One extra inch can make all the difference 👌🏼 Got the Go S with an 8' screen and so good
Battery life kills that for me :/ The Claw 8AI+ lasts twice as much in terms of battery life. And the Ally X is also considerably longer in terms of play time
I had the opportunity to buy either one and I went for the Ally X because of the size alone. With a case on, I think Claw will be massive and not portable at all lol. The Claw has great specs but ultimately you're looking at a 15% boost in performance at best over the Ally X. Software is also not as good as Armoury Crate (or you can install Bazzite if you want to go that route). I also noticed that there's barely any accessories for the Claw, if that bothers you at all
Definitely more than 15%. The Intel APU trades blows with Z2 Extreme. In some games, it's 30%, especially at 18 watts.
That's awesome, how is the game compatibility with the Claw 8? I heard the intel drivers are not as mature and could cause issues running certain games. Do you know if this is true?
Great call-out. But honestly, both seem like backpack devices? Or have you been able to pocket the Ally X in a large jacket?
Software is absolutely worse on the Claw which is what concerns me. But the performance jumps specially at 17 watts on the Claw seem insane. People are achieving the same numbers as on the Ally X in 30 watt turbo mode which is fantastic for battery life. It really does seem like a generational leap between the battery life being nearly double in some cases, the better performance, and massive screen size increase as well as much better contrast ratios.
Still, I don't know yet if the better software alone is worth the worse hardware on the Ally X. Portability is nice I guess, but they are both super bulky already and not something I'd bring without a backpack. And from what I've seen, the 8AI+ is about the size of a steam deck which I own already and have no problems with regarding size
I own both I would go with the claw 8 ai for the screen alone
Anything you miss about the Ally software? (Armory Crate, Bazzite, etc). Or any potential software deal breakers on the Claw?
I didn't miss anything I kept both lol. Claw 8 ai is not perfect though. Some times games have issues because intel drivers are less mature than. Amd.
How’s the comfort level on the Claw 8 ai? I’m trying to decide between that or Xbox ally x.
I really don't like Intel for their decades of anti consumer behavior, and the fact they are getting crushed by AMD despite that, makes me happy. They were fined for doing a lot of this stuff, but its a drop in a bucket compared to what they made. Saying that, would never touch intel even if it was better.
Its really confusing, i dont know what to believe anymore. Plus i dont want to buy chinese android phones too
One and only thing that drains exynos is 5g...if on wifi you can get around 7 hrs sot sith media useage
Clear cache after every update, it works wonders on the battery life of the S24 series...
What cache?
The entire S24 line up suffers from it... It only takes a minute to fix it though 🙂
To be honest from my experience with this phone(Exynos) you have to charge this phone twice or thrice a day but apart from that everything is just perfect and extremely smooth. Another friend has the plus variant and also has a similar battery life. Tried all kinds of battery saving measures but it didn't work so just accepted it because how good the phone actually is!
Yeah most i get is 6 hours on 5g but its chill i don't care anymore
Which phone would you buy now if you had the same budget
There is OnePlus 13 and Vivo in this budget but I wouldn't go there. Could probably put in some more money and get an iPhone 15. Also pixel 9 would be a great choice.
here's mine. on wifi only tho
It's going to depend on a few things.
I have the S25U so a bit of a different case, but I use power saving almost all the time unless I'm playing games, brightness is set to adaptive and I have automatic routines set up to limit the refresh rate to 60 in apps like TikTok, Instagram, YT, etc where they won't really be necessary.
Also try clearing your cache and set up the automatic restarts, sometimes that's all you need.
How about the storage? Are you facing any issue. And what is your primary use? I'm confused between getting a 256GB version with an external ssd or 512GB version without an external ssd.
My advice is to go for the 512 GB model. I have 256 GB and 512 GB ext ssd and I wish I had chosen the 512 GB model.
what do you usually need the extra memory for? personally i place all my pics/videos on a external drive and i been alright with the space. I guess i don't use that many apps
To counter this a bit, I've had a single BSOD in 20+ years of computing, but had significanlty more kernal panics on Macbooks (albeit on Intel CPUs).
M series has been rock solid, but honestly most people who've had bad experiences have likely just been scammed by ASUS, Acer, etc into buying a dud laptop from the off.
I can only imagine the relief of never having to deal with all of that and just getting to enjoy your computer now you have a Mac.
Unfortunately I love technology and with that comes the endless pain and suffering of optimising Windows and Android.
I went for the 256 and 2 x external drives. 1 x 8TB on my desk and 1 x 1TB I carry with me always. Never store anything on the MacBook for more than a day. When I'm home it all goes too the 8TB drive and if I'm out working in a video or photos then they copy to the external 1TB drive or to the MacBook temporarily.
Have done this with all laptops, tablets and phones
Well happy with the 256GB
That's pretty much what i do. Not sure why you need more than 256 unless you run a ton of apps and games.
Nice and detailed review.
You know the difference between the actual post and the title?
Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: • Up to $2,000 USD — purchasing in the United States
Are you open to refurbs/used? • Yes, as long as it’s from a reputable source with a good return policy
How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? • Priority order: 1) Performance, 2) Battery life, 3) Build quality, 4) Form factor (open to standard laptops, ultrabooks, or thin gaming laptops)
How important is weight and thinness to you? • Somewhat important — I’ll be carrying it to class, so lighter is better, but I can compromise for better specs
Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. • Prefer 14” to 16” screen size range
Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. • Mostly using Excel and school-related programs • Occasional AAA gaming and media streaming
If you’re gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? • Would like to play AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, or similar at medium to high settings with decent FPS (ideally 60+)
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? • Reliable build quality and comfortable keyboard are important • A good screen for watching movies is a big plus • Touchscreen and fingerprint reader are optional, not required
Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. • I’m mainly looking for a well-balanced laptop that can handle schoolwork, casual gaming, and media consumption with good battery life since I can’t always plug in while on campus. I’m open to different brands and builds as long as the performance and reliability are there. Would love recommendations under $2,000 — or even less, if possible!
ngl just get yourself a macbook or lenovo which will get you slim/lightweight, good battery and good performance for school programs. then build a desktop pc for gaming
using a gaming laptop for school is like the worst of both worlds imo
Thank you for the recommendation I currently have a MacBook just doesn’t work how I would like it for excel. I do have a nice gaming rig desktop setup but I do travel a good bit so something that would do both is great.
Refer to Jarrod's Tech on YouTube for a recommendation. Never play games on battery.
For gaming at this price range I would advise you to check this laptop

I like the HP Omen series of Laptops, Current HP has an Oman Transcend 16 that has a RTX 4070, 32GB ram, 1TB SSD for $1800. They also tend to go on sale at various retailers.
Since you prioritize performance and you are going to game, and if you prefer a long battery life and lightweight laptop, then I would recommend Acer Swift X because of the following :
Specs:
Why I am recommending it:
Powerful GPU in small form factor, 14 inch laptops with powerful GPU are rare breed, and this config/model hits a great balance between the two.
High-Quality Display*: This features a OLED 2880 x 1800 120Hz which is better resolution display, providing vibrant colors and sharp visuals
Long battery life as it lasts for around 12hours and you care about it .
Very good GPU and CPU for AAA.
Lightweight as it weighs 3lbs so you can carry it easily.
Premium build quality and material which ensures longevity.
And if you can handle a little more weight and would be okay with a little shorter battery life, in order to get better GPU, then I would recommend this Lenovo Legion Pro 5i because of the following:
Specs:
Why I am recommending it:
Great heat management which is the main concern to have with most high end gaming laptops.
Premium build quality : Aluminum chassis provides a solid, premium feel and added durability.
Up to 5 hours of battery life, which is decent for a high-performance gaming laptop, allowing for moderate usage away from a power source.
Powerful GPU and CPU for AAA.
High quality screen .

hey all, i'm in the market for a laptop as im going off to college soon and I want to get a good computer that'll last me a long time (hopefully all four years). I want the ability to game occasionally while i'm away, however i'll mostly by doing schoolwork. I've landed on the g14 due to its compact size and great performance, however I am concerened about the battery life. i am going to be primarily using it for lighter tasks, like the microsoft office suite, watching videos, and web browsing. Will this laptop be able to get through an entire day of simple tasks like these on a single charge? I ask this as i've seen wildly different numbers for as to how long the battery actually lasts on one of these. thanks!
(I'm thinking of picking up a used 2022/23 model, or a 2024 if they go on sale again)
As an alternative to an Apple PC, the G14 is probably THE best choice in terms of performance meets portability. Add G-helper optimization and you can get the same or close to the same battery life as the Apple laptop.
I’m a student using a g14, my school has plenty of study space with outlets available so I don’t tent to concern myself with battery life, but you can get through the day with the g14 on eco mode no problem. Eco mode disables the dgpu for serious power savings. It also can charge via usb c, so if you get a good power bank you can top up easily. Love this laptop. The 5080 is a little overkill for the chassis but the extra vram goes a long way for ducking around with AI stuff locally.
thanks for this, I think this is the best option.
nice!
Idk if you should buy used if you want batterylife. Unless the battery is changed or you wanna change it yourself. Bht for the rest, yeah, good laptop
Hey! Im a student and I bought a G14 2024 on an Open box sale about a month ago.
Using G helper, I get about 7-8 hours of battery life doing school work/ video browsing even when I charge to only 80% battery. Just make sure to use the eco mode. You can get even more battery life if you are willing to under bolt the cpu as well.
Overall to answer your question I think its great in terms of being able to be super powerful when you want it to be but also sip power when you need to use it day to day!
What is the battery life just watching a YouTube video or livestream with dedicated gpu disabled and with all the g helper stuff and undervolted cpu and all that. On g14 2025 AMD?
I won’t use the dedicated gpu when unplugged at all and am only asking for when running on just integrated graphics?
Silent mode, during streaming, max brightness, NO undervolt. Total battery life ~9/10h.
What model is yours
Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 32GB RAM, GeForce RTX 5080, 1TB SSD
About 9-10 hours
That's technically a lie, mine doesn't pass 6hrs
For anyone on google: I have the 2024 G14 RTX4060 model and I get around 1h/10% when doing university work (so teams, obsidian, firefox etc). So 10h total from 100% charge
Thanks boys
I'm considering the 2025 G14 but am going to be a college student and battery life is important to me. I'm pretty sure that the HX 370 in the 2025 models is a bit more efficient than the 8000 series chip in the 2024 models and was wondering if anyone knew how much longer the 2025 models last if at all as I can't really find too many reviews yet for the new model.
