Hi everyone,
Just a quick question:
I recently bought a new laptop and have been unimpressed by the battery life. Here are the specs:
Optimus X, 15.6"
i7 Six Core Processor 9750H (2.6GHz, 4.5GHz Turbo)
8GB Corsair 2666MHz SODIMM DDR4 (1 x 8GB)
GTX 1660 Ti
250GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2
I understand that it's a decent gaming style laptop so the battery life is expected to be lower, but I'm getting 1-1.5 hours when just browsing the internet, and about half that when on Skyrim (I didn't buy it for gaming but I got excited and wanted to test it!!!). I was expecting around 3-4 hours, as similar spec laptops have this, if not more. The GPU isn't even being used when browsing, so I have no idea why it's so bad? I ran a battery test and got this:
Designed Capacity: 47160mWh
Full Charge Capacity: 44539mWh
6% Wear
This seems quite low to me, although I'm not sure.
Any help would be massively appreciated, as I only have 5 days left until I can no longer refund the laptop in case I decide to change it!!!!
