Battery life is poor, just keeping 12-15 tabs open and working on a little bit a code drains it with 4-5 hours. The thermal dissipation is real poor the only vents are in the back and if by any change you block them the laptop heats up. The laptop also heats up during charging; can’t really call it a laptop because you cannot put it on your lap and work; I had to use an old amazon box to raise it up to provide better thermals. The best way to use this laptop for me is to put it in clamshell mode.
