minus-squareThe Hobbyist@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-211 months agoThe arstechnica review shows a rather average battery life: 491 min @ 200nits with the 7840U.

minus-squarePrefersAwkward@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-211 months agoI looked to more reviews to break see if there was consensus.
