[QUOTE="bayasdev, post: 909272, member: 41799"] With Windows my non gaming battery life it's 2 hours and 1:40 hours for Linux. Yesterday I tried the Intel only graphics mode on the Nvidia control panel, this actually power offs the dedicated GPU on the next reboot, I squashed more than 3 hours of battery and still had 40% left using VAAPI enabled Brave and VirtualBox (running MS Excel) CPU usage was like 26% and 5% with the VM turned off and the temperature was almost cold to touch. This mode fixed my laptop's battery at the cost of having to enable the GPU and rebooting before playing a game. EDIT: I forgot to say that I always undervolt my laptop's CPU by -120mV and iGPU by -75mV no matter of what OS I use. [/QUOTE]
