@macietayl0r Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. The issue here is battery life: While most gaming laptops are pretty bad in this category, some are worse than others. I did find some good benchmarks, but only for certain models, and other sites seem to be all over the map with their assessments. Complicating things, some brands have completely different batteries for very similar builds... it's kind of a mess. But I'm going to ask for advice on this one, and I'll get back to you when I have a better idea of the reasonable options.
And just to be clear, it's never a good idea to play games on battery. Performance will drop off considerably, and even the best batteries can't sustain the kind of power required for gaming for very long. But I'm sure you have other uses in mind as well, and it would be nice not to have to plug the laptop in after just a couple of hours of normal use.
No problem, take your time.
