[SOLVED] Can I get a decent gaming laptop that will have a long battery life when I am not gaming?

[MeisterENOX]

Eg: When I am doing school work so I don't have to always carry a bulky charger in my bag just in case it dies. This is assuming I charge it fully the night before and use it at school for minor tasks a such as Word Documents and Tab Browsing.

Thank you for your time

It's a hard feat. When not gaming and at idle, a gaming laptop won't draw a ton more power than a regular laptop, however most gaming laptops have small batteries.

Lol ive done the research, I'm just trying to target individuals who have perhaps bought a gaming laptop that had a good battery life when performing normal tasks. I appreciate your response however.

If your not gaming then there are battery settings which do help and will use the iGPU (if the CPU has one) instead of the dedicated GPU. I just bought this about a week ago and the battery usage has lasted around 1.5 hours playing the Division 2, just over 2 hours playing a lighter RTS game and over 3 hours with basic use such as web and some YT vids. They claim 7+ hours but I really doubt it as even with power saving options/lowered brightness I think the longest I could probably get it to last is around 4-ish, maybe.
