battery life issues

MSI Thin GF63 horrible battery life

I wanted to know, does anybody know if a brand new laptop only lasting 2 hours on battery with light gaming is reasonable?

or is there something draining my battery/need service

After a quick Google search, it says gaming on battery is expected to last 2-4 hours depending on the laptop and game.

I would always have your laptop plugged in when gaming, because you also get a higher power profile when plugged in, which means games run faster.

thats simply because gaming laptops have low battery

And yes it's better to have your computer plugged in

and if its plugged in make sure to set battery limit to 80%

preserves battery life

OS battery check is not fully able to check the whole battery but manufacturers can see them completely

Windows bloatware eats more battery, you should install zero bloat Windows and If you are using gaming laptop don't expect it to have longer battery life than a Macbook
