2023 Blade 14 - Battery Life - Joke?

Question

Hey guys! I hope everyone is well!I recently purchased my Blade.Ryzen 9 7940HSRTX 406032GBOn the website they promise 10 hours of battery life using the minimum. However, in my day to day use, which is ridiculously simple. Only Chrome, Whatsapp and some emails with a brightness of maximum 30-40%, Economy Mode, with processor peak of maximum 75% and minimum of 1. The battery lasts no more than 4 hours.I think this is absurd, I can't believe this is correct. I've already tried formatting, reinstalling all the drivers, getting the drivers directly from Razer. I've also tried updating all the drivers with the latest ones released, and NOTHING, absolutely nothing, solves it.I was frustrated like never before, because I had a Zephyrus G14 and the battery lasted a MINIMUM of 7-8 hours doing exactly the same work, and often much heavier than that. Which is the minimum you would expect from a laptop of this level.Please, I deeply hope there is some solution to this. Well, honestly? If I can't solve it, I'll sell this laptop at a bargain price and probably never buy a Razer again.

Hi, I have a blade 14 2023. I did some optimization and the battery life is roughly 7~8 hours.Here is what I did, hope it helps.In windows setting, switchthe power plan to ‘best power efficiency’.In windows setting, create a new power plan that restrict the minimum & maximum processor load. (however it doesn’t provide a lot benefit).In Nvida control panel Switch graphics settings to prefer ‘integrated graphics’.In windows setting, close hardware acceleration and variable refresh rate.In razer central, close the razer Axon and razer Cortex. They cost a lot energy. Axon even runs only in discrete GPU.In windows setting--graphics settings, choose the dummy GPU for each program to integrated graphics.Lower the screen brightness to 30%~50%.After these settings, under normal daily life (open web browser, music player, office, and other softwares), the blade last roughly6.5~8 hours. If I don’t open to many programs at the same time, it lasteven longer. (e.g. open only a browser to watch videos, or only open Office)。
