Does anyone have one of these? Can you make the batteries last longer than 2 hours? Any other tips?

yeah dont buy intel
U series Intel CPUs have pretty good battery life.
t. Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 4 (Intel edition) owner
Gaming laptops don't have low wattage CPUs though,
And even the U series Intel chips as of now aren't as efficient as AMD's chips

Yeah, but they aren't that far behind.

They are still behind

Pick one or just buy a Steamdeck and a Chromebook instead
There's no reason gaming laptop running on eGPU can't have decent battery life. Just clock/volt everything down.
It's just that only rarely they put a competent team on the design, sometimes it's bottom barrel pajeets. One year the Zephyrus G14 has 10 hours battery life, next year it has 2 hours.
Just build a sff pc if you want to move a pc around for gaming. It will run around shit mobile hardware.

Yes. The issue with windows is that it can't switch between battery plans conveniently, only between battery/AC during ONE plan. Install a third party app that switches between plans as your power source changes, and make two different plans: max performance and max battery saving.
Here's the app i use now.

Easily improved my laptop battery from default 2:30h to easily 5h+
I think mine lasts around 3-4 hours coding with the Nvidia GPU off and the screen one or two notches below max brightness at 60hz.
There's only so much you can do, it's not optimized for battery life but what it has is enough for me.
>He didn't get a macbook pro
LMAO
We can't all be trannies like you
>implies trannies buy MacBook when they plague the whole linux sphere
>Dilates
Trannies are the reason you can even use linux on a macbook. Try again
there is nothing that screams more like "tranny" than a macbook or switch
Actually there are more normies using MacBooks. The unhinged tranny types are using Thinkpads and riced linux with anime wallpaper
Literally what the fuck are you on about, there's more sweaty dudes and hipsters buying macbooks than there are trannies buying them, trannies just buy thinkpads and that one laptop company LTT shills
I just set my laptop to always be in power save mode. I only game on it in 720p too. These laptop screens are so small.

Don’t get the Intel version, turn on hybrid mode to you use iGPU. Get Lenovo Legion Toolkit and deactivate dGPU because schwindows thinks microshat world does indeed need to use a dGPU. In the toolkit you can also down clock your AMD CPU because once again the system thinks you really need that fucking 4ghz boost to open a chrome tab 0.0000001 nanosecond faster. This shit is done automatically but your refresh rate should be 60.

Yes. You can mount the laptop to a Deep Cycle Lead Acid Battery. Depending on your stock battery's voltage, you may need to put it in series with a 6V or another 12V. Once your batteries are set up, go ahead and do the wiring. If your laptop needs a control board in the battery to function, you can extract the PCB from the stock battery. You should be able to get quite a bit of juice out of your laptop now, the only downside being that it weighs 60lbs now.
>gayming laptop
just build a fucking pc. lol
It's actually about as close as to an older thinkpad one can get outside of purchasing a framework. Replacable bits that have multiple options, extra drives and lacking in any gamer aesthetic. It's just a black, non-descript slab. No stupid LEDs or extra fans or screens. No stupid gamer branding with reflective material.
You can buy a larger battery. There are guides online but you basically just pop it open and replace the old one. I replaced my 2021 model's and I get about 4-6 hours.
I have a similar one (Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3) and I think it's a good laptop. Good Linux support, compared to other cheap brands.
Sadly, it has modern shit like Intel ((boot guard)) which make porting Coreboot or Libreboot to them practically impossible. I like that they look simple. Mine only has a white static/breathing keyboard backlight which is just good enough for me. Also an ethernet port, which is crazy rare in modern laptops.
I can get 5hr on the 5800h / 3060 model if I don't use the gpu at all, this is really not the laptop to get if you need to work without power for extended periods
Just unplug the battery when not using it (wired power connection at home etc.) to prolong it's lifespan
These Legions have easy acces to battery plugin/socket
systemctl enable tlp
sudo power top --autotune
Can you elaborate on this?
Wouldn't tlp and powertop conflict with one another?
No, and no.
God you suck
Whatever I gave you advice. I have a legion and it works fine for me.
>I gave you advice
I'm not OP, just curious about these programs and you're refusing to elaborate like an absolute homosexual.
Let me guess... You don't actually know anything about these programs do you?
There are manpages for a reason. Idk man if you wanna insult me thats fine I dont care really.
got one of these and it wont ever shut the fuck up and stop overheating even when idle
my gf's gaming laptop has an 11th gen intel and that shit is unusable without it being plugged in it's crazy how SLOW it works
Thank god I'm not a retard and got a laptop with an integrated RDNA2 cause no game worth playing needs more than that
Just buy an external battery pack.
