Here we go ---> 26.04! 😁 How are your experiences so far?

Looking for a Gaming Laptop with the best possible battery life

There are some that you can move into different modes to get longer battery life but it would hinder performance and refresh rate, depending what you’re doing. Using economic and power saving settings on the ASUS G16 Zephyrus get somewhere between 7-8 hours of battery life. https://www.bestbuy.com/p
