Laptop model: Lenovo Thinkpad T460p CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz RAM: 16GB Screen: 14" 2560x1440 usually dock it with a secondary screen Personal comments: * It's my sole computer so I use it for everything, from working to gaming (it has an integrated Nvida 940MX) * The battery has gone shitty after 3 years and only hold 1 hours of charge so I need to buy a replacement. A part from that I really like it. * Previously I had second hand Dell my whole life I don't regret the switch too much even if the XPS 13 is really tempting me. I also hesitate to buy a secondary laptop for my travel abroad which would be smaller and lighter and that I could afford to get stolen but I'm still on the fence. * I find the dock really nice but wish they were cheaper

Interesting, I also use a T460p (32 GB with a second m.2 harddrive), my battery still has 92 % capacity after more than three years. Do you also have a Sanyo battery? I think batteries are often sourced from different companies so you might have gotten a bad one. Did you often completely discharge it? I heard that charge/discharge patterns can have a large influence on the capacity. I also really like the T460p, three years in it still works great, is easy to upgrade and not too heavy.

  > Do you also have a Sanyo battery? No idea > Did you often completely discharge it? I heard that charge/discharge patterns can have a large influence on the capacity. yes. I heard recently that there was also the trick/settings of not recharging it completely but I may be too late for that. Also wondering if the Linux battery management may have something to do with it.
