A couple of ways you can make the charts easier to consume: 1. For bar/charts like efficiency chart, it easier to parse if the bars are arranged in ascending or descending. That quickly lets people know the best, worst as well as where their particular interest ranks. 2. For other charts, the legend should be sorted according to value. So for units of work done, the sort the legend for units of work done. Same reason as above. Great video!

Agree, those charts are hard to read especially the battery drain vs work done with the dots being almost similar colored and hopping all around, its very hard to map which laptop is which.

I wonder, if one of the laptops finished, let's say the compilation of the code first, did it idle until the timer ran out to complete the cycle within the 30min exactly? If that is the case, it'd be more interesting to see how long they survive and how many not hard coded cycles they can get through. It should be fairly simple to await the compilation, check status of the python execution, etc. with more performance related tasks. Regardless, your tests and coverage of these machines is excellent and the only source I trust on KZbin to not be sponsored by either side and give proper reviews.

[@crestofhonor2349]

Nice tests. I'd be curious how much the screen takes up battery. Not only do larger and brighter screens consume more but the type of screen can affect the test too. OLED panels can draw quite a bit more power especially in apps that tend to use a full white background instead of darker colors. This can significantly reduce power draw of the screen too. Screen resolution is another factor as well as a 1080p screen consumes less power than a 4K screen. Another factor is refresh rate as a 60hz panel will consume less power than one at a higher refresh rate. Plus, some laptops can also vary the refresh rate to reduce power consumption like how Apple does it for their Pro motion displays. I'd love to see you narrow down how much each of these factors could possibly effect battery

[@Winnetou17]

It's good that this is an automated test, as it will have to be ran again when Zen 5 is out, then when M4 is out, and again when Lunar Lake is out ... maybe even when Arrow Lake is out, though Arrow Lake is known to not focus on efficiency. But I'm a bit at a loss that each iteration lasts 30 minutes. Does that mean that the performance is about the same between all the models ? I highly doubt that. It is true though that most people will leave this as is and even if they could squeeze 50% more battery life at indistinguishable cost of performance (and that also, in rare cases), most people would simply go to high performance when working. But, I think it would also be a very good idea to have a test where the time it takes is fully up to the performance of the chips, no waiting around. And then have 3 runs for each chip - one with the max performance, one with max power efficiency and one with a reasonably fast/decent performance of the task(s) tested, have them all perform just as fast, and see how much work it can do until it dies. And this "reasonably fast" would mean trying to tune the chip to work at that level, not be faster, aka, have the max efficiency while meeting the "decently fast" criteria. I'm not sure though how tunable the laptops + OSes are for this. Thing is, the Intel chips, they can happily chew more than 100W, so if your battery has enough power, they can literally last only 30 minutes. Buuut, they can be tuned to be much more efficient, at the expense of some performance (which might not be that much, depends on many factors). Too bad that the laptop manufacturers usually tune the laptops for more performance even when it doesn't make sense. Because battery life is less known/tested/understood so it's simply easier to have good scores in benchmarks, even if your laptop is very very hot, very loud and drains the battery in minutes. Here Apple design shows how much better it is, as they actually tune for the customer (usually), not for a benchmark. Basically, I'm curious if the Intel chips can be made to be ... like twice as efficient, how would that go. They still wouldn't win the efficiency war, but they wouldn't look as bad. And I'm curious if the performance would be enough. I suspect it would.

Thank you for doing this. I've been waiting for a detailed set of battery life tests for a while now. Every other review just gives a nebulous number of hours, exactly as you stated. Now I need to research the battery size and SOC of the Surface Pro 11 so I can correlate it to the data you have here. Might do the same for the Asus Proart Z13 as well. EDIT: SP11, SD X Plus, 46WHr battery. SL7, SD X Plus, 54WHrs. Basic math, SP11 is 85% of the capacity. Duration is likely 85% of 330 mins. So 281 mins, or 4 hours and 40 mins vs. 330 mins or 5 hours 30 mins. Not bad.

It's a huge difference (we know that Snapdragon should last more, but not to a margin of 230% increase).

Thank you for the detailed test, I've a better idea about the battery now, especially wrt performance. Now it's a choice of ecosystem, speaker and touch pad (which Macs are great for), price, and software compatibility (AutoCAD and Civil 3D don't work with Snapdragon until now). For me, if Autodesk gets out a version that works in Snapdragon, I'll go with those. But if money was not an issue, I'd go with the Macs (at least for now)
