First review on best buy quotes 12 hours of light tasks like word processing. I'm sure it's less than that if you are growing chrome with 10 tabs open

It is actually like that. I have used ZenBook 14 with 5800H and 67 WHr Battery and during my normal workload, with 120-130 nits brightness and Power saver mode selected, it sometimes game over13 hours. It was a 2 day laptop for moderate usage.

Was it the one with the discrete GPU or without it?
This one with MX450 won't last that long. 8-10 hrs max if you milk it.

No it's not.
LPDDR4x means it's soldered.

Aluminum chassis USB C charging and the battery life is great. I got around 9 hours on max brightness. The display is less than 300 nits not that bright but still very good. The MX450 is mediocre it got the same FPS using Vega graphics.

I returned mine though. It runs way too hot when doing light gaming. The bottom of the chassis actually burns my lap. I got it for 549.99 and didn't think it was that good of a deal.
