Hey Restitito,

The advertised battery life is based on an industry standard testing protocol, with conditions that vary greatly from common use cases for most users. Based on user reviews, the battery life you're experiencing is common, especially if your system isn't set to a quiet/power saving mode with the system's integrated graphics processor (iGPU) being in use instead of the high wattage, RTX dedicated graphics card (dGPU).

If you want to squeeze out more battery life and are completing non-intensive graphics tasks, you can utilize the MUX switch built into this model to turn off the dedicated GPU to greatly decrease power draw. This can be done in the Lenovo Vantage app > top right box > GPU working mode, then choosing your preferred method. Users can also take advantage of the keyboard shortcut, Fn + Q to toggle thermal modes and easily switch between prioritizing battery life or power, or even the best of both words, along with custom settings configurable in Lenovo Vantage. You could also press the Fn + R key combo to toggle to a lower refresh rate for even greater power conservation.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
