Power consumption wise we have an idle draw of 45w, 78w during PCMark 10 and 188.8w during our demanding game benchmarking.
We saw idle CPU temps of 43 degrees C, hitting up to 88C in Cinebench R20, but came in lower during gaming with a temperature of 75C.
GPU temps surprised us a little, especially considering this is a non-Max-Q RTX 2060. We were expecting more heat, as we only saw the GPU hit 69C as the absolute highest temperature. Those huge intakes on the bottom and quad exhausts definitely do their job.
Finally, what’s the battery like? During PCMark 10 battery benchmarks we got 248 minutes during the Modern Office test, though bear in mind this is more of a general use, opening word documents, playing some videos, using excel etc. That’s over 4 hours and we think that’s acceptable since this is a gaming laptop. For gaming we saw 91 minute battery life, so just over an hour and a half, which is not too shabby. In real word scenarios expect better performance though as these are bench-marking tools!
Charge wise there’s two ways of doing it, you have standard charging, which was good at 135 minutes but you can also enable fast charge via Lenovo Vantage and this charged it up fully in 85 minutes.
