I have the 2022 X1 Yoga Gen 6 as well. I am not impressed by battery life. Watching a 4K movie can easily drain the battery form full charge.
The major issue is over heating. Unless I place some small item underneath it (think a lighter size) to make a 1 inch gab between the surface and the laptop it overheats to the point where it stops functions (e.g. movies starts to freeze up). With a bit a airflow underneath it this problem goes away. The casing can get really hot. Almost to the point where you burn yourself. Almost.

You should get the battery RMAd ASAP if it's still in warranty or check whatever energy vampires you might have running or maybe a bad driver setup. I have a cheap-ass Lenovo Yoga and watching a 4k movie drops the battery only by about 10% per hour, so something is definitely wrong with yours.

- TowerTall 3y agoI download the blue-ray movies to disk and play from there using VLC
- aspenmayer 3y agoThat’s helpful to know. I am surprised that the battery life isn’t higher in that case, but I can’t think of anything I would do differently to improve it, to be honest.
- rcarmo 3y agoThat is part of the reason why I gimped it. The details are in my post someplace (linked above), but essentially I throttled it.
