The battery life is impressive, but I don't think they edited the article much. For example, this paragraph was left in:

"Another standout feature of this design is the size and quality of the display. At 16-inches across, this panel is dramatically larger than many of the branded products that are priced similarly, and with a natural resolution of xxx, it allows for more applications to share screen space."

It seems they edited that now

Another standout feature of this design is the size and quality of the display. At 13-inches across, this panel is not larger than many of the branded products that are priced similarly but with a native resolution of much higher than usual, it allows for more applications to share screen space.

The arstechnica review shows a rather average battery life: 491 min @ 200nits with the 7840U. That's a pretty stark difference with this review here.

I don't understand the almost contradictory comments regarding the battery results from TechRadar:

  • "Decent battery life"
  • "Great battery life"
  • "excellent battery life"
  • "With a battery life that is close to 14 hours, this laptop should get you through a full day and then some more. The latest AMD Ryzen 7 processor provides both high performance and power efficiency in a single package."

So which one is it? Is it decent? Is it great? Is it excellent?

The numbers are certainly promising, with over 13h55 min in PCMark battery test @ 120 nits!
