Battery Life Test Methodology

How we test battery life:

• The screen is set to 180 nits of brightness.
• If the device has an iGPU-only mode, this is activated.
• If not, the test will be executed with the standard NVIDIA Optimus/Advanced Optimus/Auto mode settings.
• All battery-saving features that don't decrease visual quality are applied.
• This includes:
  • Best Power Efficiency mode and Energy Saver mode in the Windows Power & Battery Menu.
  • Variable Refresh Rate (if present, that's a display/laptop dependent extra).
  • Panel Self Refresh (if present, that's a display/laptop dependent extra).
  • The most energy-efficient mode is selected by the manufacturer's own software that controls the notebook's power.

Settings Used

This is an iGPU-only machine, so configuring it for the best possible battery life is a straightforward process:

• Best power efficiency + Energy Saver Mode in the Windows Battery menu.
• Power Saving mode is applied in the GEEKOM PC Manager app.
• Screen is set to 180 nits.

Despite the high-resolution OLED and the powerful CPU, the 72 Wh battery enables the laptop to last for more than nine hours of 4K video playback.
