Hmmm, most reviews/forum posts I've read have said more like 6 hour battery life even with zoom calls so surprised to see your results. I guess we'll see. Likely some driver issues with the current platform.
That said, I almost always have a charger around and never spend more than an hour or two at a time so it's not a deal breaker regardless.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I did a lot of profiling, turns out vscode and ltex are very resource intensive. I changed ltex to a basic spell checker, the battery consumption dropped from 20w to 13w, which not great, but a huge imporvement.
I am thinking about replacing vscode with vim or emacs for more bettery life, but I am not ready to make the jump yet.
I just got a new ram stick so that the laptop can avoid using swap, see if that fixes anything.
BTW, I got the ryzen 5 edition, which comes with a smaller battery.
I bought 32GB so I might be mounting something as tmpfs rather than using swap :)
That said it shouldn't really impact battery life
