Short answer: around 8 hours.

Long answer: depends on software/use, so the only measurable comparison between any machines is idle power consumption.

Min brightness: 5 Watts/16.5 hours
Half brightness: 5.3 Watts/15.6 hours
Full brightness: 7.7 Watts/10.7 hours

In my experience, basic lightweight desktop apps or web browsing, at half brightness, you will get 80% to 100% of a laptop's full brightness idle power draws, so in this case, a usable 8-10 hours. Doing something more intensive will depend on the Wattage you pull for those tasks - bogging down 2 CPU cores under turbo will consume another 20W of power, which will reduce the 80Wh battery to 3-4 hours of runtime. Playing a game with the GPU burning 60W and CPU at 20W, you'd have under an hour. Mine had 82.7Wh of new -battery capacity.

Anyway, those were the numbers I logged when I briefly owned this laptop. The CPU will maintain 4.7GHz all-core under stress testing, pulling 60W of power in Performance mode, 54W/4.6GHz in balanced mode, and 50W/4.4GHz in quiet mode. With 100W USB-PD as a power source, it will peak at 45W CPU TDP for 4.3-4.4GHz all-core load. The zen4 6-core 7640HS is as fast, and faster in some workloads, as the zen3 8-core CPUs.

It's a good machine, and zen4 is a nice improvement over zen3. There's nothing to dislike about this "value" 6-core chip - it's fast, and the GTX4060 is a sweet spot for 2023 laptops. Full dual-stick RAM upgradability too, and mine had zero backlight bleed, or any other panel issues.

Seems like a great deal for a great laptop. Main downside to a "slim" Legion 5 or 5 pro is that the thermals will be a bit worse than a non slim. Weight is similar last I saw and the thickness only changes like .2-.3 inches I believe?

So IF you have the choice most people are better with the non slim. But this is a heck of a price for a LOT of laptop.

I just bought a Galaxy Book 4 Pro (512gb) @ $1092 pre tax last night and am highly considering getting this instead, mainly because of the price. Thoughts?

Edit: I am currently using a Galaxy Book S, so I'm really not going to get anything out there at the sub 1200 price point for a carbon copy of what I'm using now.

Galaxy book is a totally different device than this. What are you trying to do with it?

I'm not sure this is accurate. From my experience, only the PD port also has DP capability.

I COULD do a lot, it's just about how much time I have really. I COULD run games instead of PS5; do after effects and vegas; but I really only NEED to run Serato and MS Office.

I got the S mainly because it was super light and portable and was perfect for when I was in law school. Also big fan of the no fans/hyper cooling tech.

Yes, there are two slots for memory available. Lenovo says 32 GB max, but other sources say 64GB max. There is also a second m.2 slot for additional storage.

So, you like light and quiet and want to know if a high-power CPU + dedicated-GPU gaming rig is the right choice for you - for the ~5% of your use that might involve gaming? ABSOLUTELY!
