Is this a new battery test methodology from TomsHardware? Hence the lack of comparison data? If so, some more details would be helpful. Word and email - I agree with you there, that's very low power use. Webpages, on the other hand, particularly ad-invested ones, involve burst workloads where the SOC will boost high and sacrifice efficiency to shave tens of milliseconds off the time it takes to render the page. How warm does your phone get after an hour of video playback? It shouldn't be warm at all. CPU usage should be close to nothing and there should just be a constant, light load on the GPU decode engine. If the video decode is properly offloaded to hardware, then video playback, particularly local video playback (as opposed to streamed video) should be one of the least taxing use-cases for a laptop. Unless you're watching 8 hours of YouTube a day.I disagree. Gigabyte laptops have a similar feature too. In Dell XPS laptops, the bios allow users to set thresholds where a battery can charge to to extend its late life. The biggest strain to batteries is when you charge from 0 to 15 or from 85 to 100. Scrolling webpages, writing documents and emails uses less resources than video. Keeping the laptop plugged in will kill your battery eventually as it is straining the battery.
