My i7 8th gen 32gb 1060 MSI g65 stealth with a brand new battery gets 45minutes - 3 hours depending on what I’m doing…it’s atrocious.
I main a 1135g7 32gb dell latitude and that seems to be in the happy range of 3hrs-5hrs 3hrs being the more more common time. As much as I hate the plastic package I really go love the 1135g7 processor. Dell just sucks at making good hardware.
Gaming laptops usually have atrocious battery life, especially ones with Intel i9s and comparatively weak GPUs. Means they put the whole budget of the laptop into the CPU and nothing else.

However, your battery life is going to be like 2 minutes
