I also wish it would have a bigger battery. 67 watt hours is pretty low for a 16 inch computer. I never understood why these manufacturers stick with exclusively the lowest specs possible while still delivering a technically acceptable laptop.
They claim 11h uptime with a full battery. I guess if you’re not doing heavy processing it’s fine.
That’s only up to 11 hours. Ryzen 7000 series can get pretty thirsty when you start doing a lot. My current laptop is rated for 10 hours of battery life, but I usually get about 2-3 on a good day. My Ryzen 5000 series laptop is really good at low loads, but 6 cores will drink through it’s 57 watt hour battery, and that’s with a 14 inch screen and an “U” CPU.
IMO any laptop that’s 15" or bigger should have at minimum a 90 watt hour battery.
Right? Even MacBook Pros have larger batteries in the 14 inch and 16 inch lineup.
