GPUs could consume a lot of power.
Source:
I used a Windows 10 laptop (not Thinkpad) with Nvidia
GPU and it usually lasted less than two hours on battery.
I work on another laptop, Thinkpad without Nvidia
or AMD GPU, it lasts 6-8 hours on battery.
- Causality1 7y agoFor a given CPU and battery capacity, Nvidia Optimus and AMD XConnect mean there's effectively no difference in battery life between a laptop with and without a dGPU, assuming you keep the dGPU disabled while you're using it. There are of course gaming and workstation laptops that run the dGPU at all times but you get what you expect with those.
