Gigabyte makes big claims about this laptop’s 94Wh power pack and its battery life. We ran the PC Mark 8 work battery test and saw a result of five hours and 40 minutes, which is certainly decent. When idle, this laptop sits at around 38 watts of power usage but while gaming, this is kicked up to 99 watts.
That’s twice as long as the average gaming laptop can manage, and that was with the components using their full muscle and the screen at full brightness. With some careful management and the backlight toned down we’d expect this laptop to last a full working day away from the mains.
Prefer the proper heavy gaming laptops like my MSI laptop from 2014. Don’t see the point of these thin max-q laptops at all.
That’s an interesting cpu the ‘77700HQ ‘ one to many 7’s but then again It might be new knowing Intels naming system
Being able to use it for something else than gaming. Like sending email at the beach for 8 hours straight on battery power, bringing it on vacation without breaking the back, etc.
I like those huge bricks myself, even bought a MSI GT80S with 18 inch screen.
But I can see the point in this laptop. Mobile power.
Given that this is virtually the same but with more power, how come it got a whole point less than the Aero 15? Is it because of the heat issues when stressing both the CPU and GPU simultaneously?
