I can get a solid 2-3 hours on Baldur’s Gate 3 (with a bunch of mods) before I have to worry about plugging it back in. All the other games I play right now are the other ones that you’ve mentioned are older games that really don’t drain the battery at all. I’ve used mine pretty consistently since November December of last year, and I haven’t really noticed a drop in performance of battery life.
I really wanna try some of the newer games that look great like that Clair Obscur 33 game to see how it compares.
Clair Obscur runs great with a few tweaks but burns through battery like it was running water unfortunately
Where do you come from that running water is burning?
I'd love to know what settings you use to get 3 hours. I'm lucky if I can get an hour and 35 minutes.
