Hey Peeps,
So with load shedding getting rather annoying, I was looking at getting backup power at home.
But the idea of spending 25k-35k for a few more hours of screen time a day just makes me sick -_-
So then I thought, well why not spend say 10k-15k on a laptop, and use that in the dark times as well as being a handy companion when moving around?
Not looking at something to play AAA games on or run at 4k 144Hz, just something to fill the gaps.
When reading write-ups and articles I get mixed feedback, same laptop, different sites, state between 1-9 hours of battery and 10-250fps.....
Which of course doesn't help when I'm potentially looking to have a battery for at least 4 hours. But just can't find viable information.
Now the main questions I have are the following:
Some examples of laptops I've looked at potentially getting.
iGP:
Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated, as well as any advice on what to look for.
I have gaming rig at home, but when it comes to laptops, I'm clueless.

Now the main questions I have are the following:
- What is the general battery life of a laptop while playing games (low-med settings, nothing major, maybe like WoW, V-Rising, LoL, Dota) with an:
- iGP with Ryzen 7 / i7
- GPU with Ryzen5 / i5
- What would the performance difference be (Roughly here, like 10%? 20%? 50%?) (From what I could find, these are the same price range)
(Side note, I'm happy with 60fps, don't need anything more. so getting 100-200 fps is pointless for me)- I can either get something with a Ryzen 5 + 4GB RAM + RTX 3050 + 256GB SSD
- Or a Ryzen 7 + 20GB RAM + 1TB SSD (No dedicated GPU)
Some examples of laptops I've looked at potentially getting.
iGP:
- Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ALC6 82KU00V2SA AMD Ryzen 7 5700U
- Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ADA6 82KR006DSA AMD Ryzen 7 3700U
- Victus by HP Laptop 15-fb0017ni AMD Ryzen 5 5600H
- Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 82K200U2SA AMD Ryzen 5 5600H
