My experience has been that battery life is constant regardless of CPU TDP, reason being the U series CPUs (which I think Intel has since rebranded… U itself is a rebrand of Core m) are in smaller chassis so the battery is naturally smaller.
Of course… it’s asinine to put a 15W “i7” in a 15” laptop… so “anything but word processing” battery life is always ass.
These days I wouldn’t buy an x86 laptop.. ARM or bust. My M1 MacBook got like 15 hours of battery life, doing all manner of thing. The biggest inconvenience was having to remember to run Docker build to output x86 images rather than ARM since deployment target was x86.
