    I see, so is it a known thing that AMD CPU laptops generally have better battery life? I always see arguments for one CPU/GPU over another because of better power consumption, but I’ve never been in a position where I needed to worry much about it, so I’ve never looked much into the claims.

      Seemed that way when I was shopping last, but that was over a year ago so I can’t cite sources. Supposedly their low mode uses less power and runs faster than Intel’s. I can’t confirm the faster part but it definitely lasts longer on battery power than any of the Intel laptops I’ve owned.

      AMD CPUs indeed have better efficiency when it comes to energy used, or so I always hear.
