Nowadays, whatever type of laptop you have, it's safe to leave it plugged in all the time. It's recommended as the more charge cycles you put the battery through, the more it will wear out. There's no need to worry about 'overcharging' a battery as the laptop and battery are smart enough to know when to stop charging.
All that happens is the laptop runs directly off your power cable instead of using the battery. That depends on your laptop. For some laptops, 4 hours of battery life is pretty good, but it's pretty low for others. For an older laptop, 4 hours is a reasonably good length of time as the battery is older and will have been used more than a new laptop battery will have been. However, new laptops generally offer longer battery life than this unless you're playing games or editing videos , so again, it's worth checking the expectations listed on the manufacturer's site to check your laptop is operating as expected.
Several different factors affect your laptop's battery life, both temporarily and permanently. Here's a look at the key factors. When your laptop's battery is beginning to fail, there are a few ways you'll know a problem is occurring. Here's a quick overview of what to look out for. On average, a laptop battery lasts about 1, charge cycles or between years of typical use. That's when you should expect to replace your laptop battery.
If you're OK to use it plugged in more often than you used to, there's no need to replace the laptop battery. Bear in mind that many laptop batteries can only be replaced by a professional, making replacement batteries quite expensive.
You'll see a message with the location it was saved to. To extend your laptop's battery life , change your power profile to Power Saver, lower the screen brightness, and turn off the keyboard backlighting. You can also go to a retailer like Best Buy or a waste management service that recycles electronics. Place the battery in a sealable, disposable container, such as a plastic bag.
If your laptop battery won't charge , the charging cable could be damaged, the internal battery could be damaged, or a specific driver could be corrupt. Make sure the power outlet you're using isn't turned off. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Dell XPS 13 minutes, or 11 hours, 26 minutes.

With the advent of the M1 chip, Apple is free —— free to be faster and stronger, free to dominate. Apple could have stopped there, but instead, you get faster web page loading times, a more powerful camera and seamless integration between Mac, iPad and iPhone thanks to native Universal apps.
The 5nm chip even improves the camera and microphones. It may not be as glamorous as the Elite Dragonfly, but the EliteBook G7 is every bit as capable. It flaunts an attractive metal chassis, boasts lightning-quick performance, and lasts for more than 15 hours on a charge.
The p display is a good one for work and play, plenty of ports mean you don't need a dongle, and a spattering of default and optional features make your work experience more secure and efficient.
The sky-high price means the G7 is only meant for the high-rollers; execs making the six-figure salaries, invaluable researchers working long nights, and the paper pushers with a Fortune company attached to their LinkedIn profiles. But if you have the cash, or your money has the budget, then this is easily one of the best business laptops on the market.
The Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 15 is a blue-hued, 2-in-1 head-turning laptop that will rock your world with a built-in, show-stealing S Pen that attracts all the attention. Taking notes pun unintended from its successful Galaxy Note smartphone series, Samsung packed a pizazz-filled, entertaining layer of stylus fun for artistic creatives, scribble-happy students and note-taking professionals.
Put your shades on! The Samsung Galaxy Book 15 along with the Galaxy Book Ion is the first laptop in the world to feature a QLED display, an energy-saving technology that helps to output super-high brightness scores without depleting too much battery power. Speaking of its battery, it lasted a whopping 15 hours and 44 minutes on our test.
See our full Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 15 review. Taking a page from the X1 Carbon, the newest Yoga now flaunts a inch display with a taller aspect ratio for more vertical screen space — a boon for enterprise users. Also improving productivity are a wider touchpad and a human presence detection sensor for convenient login and enhanced security. Swapping the engine for 11th Gen Intel chips adds considerably faster performance, but the battery life upgrade is even more enticing; the Gen 6 model lasts for nearly 15 hours on a charge.
These perks are packaged in a sleek aluminum chassis with a convenient 2-in-1 design and a handy stylus slot. It's amazing what a new heart can do for a laptop. Yes, Apple's long-awaited transition away from Intel and into the ARMs of custom silicon has arrived, and the new chip blows us away. I'll start by saying the new MacBook Air is an improvement over the previous model in every way, bringing monumental performance and battery life enhancements. Those bold claims Apple made about the M1?
They weren't exaggerations. This MacBook Air out-muscles every laptop in its class while lasting a full day on a charge. And it does so with a fanless design, meaning the Air is pin-drop silent. The new MacBook Air may have a few faults, but it's the closest Apple has ever been to crafting the perfect laptop.
See our full MacBook Air with M1 review. The ultraportable brings back a cadre of useful ports while ditching the novel, but impractical Touch Bar. The miniLED screen is positively breathtaking as is the new, improved speaker system with its spatial audio capabilities. Apple estimates that the inch MacBook Pro can last up to 17 hours of fullscreen video playback and 11 hours of wireless web browsing.
This is due to the efficiency of the M1 Pro chip. When we ran the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which consists of continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at nits of brightness, the MacBook Pro lasted an impressive 14 hours and 8 minutes with the ProRes refresh rate enabled.

The Gram 14 2-in-1 we reviewed last year was no fluke. After a shaky entry to the laptop market, LG has proven that it can craft a laptop as good as any. The newest Gram 14 2-in-1 is the company's best yet, boasting epic battery life and a lightweight design with military-grade durability — a big change from the flimsy paperweights LG sold just a few years back.
LG used to tout ridiculous battery life figures for earlier models. The outdated benchmarks the company used were so misleading that our real-world battery test often showed less than half the advertised endurance.
So forgive us for rolling our eyes at the Gram 14 2-in-1's claimed No, the Gram 14 doesn't last for 20 hours — but it comes much closer than I expected. On our Laptop Mag battery test, the Gram 14 2-in-1 lasted for 14 hours flat.
