So if you use it as a regular laptop for web browsing and youtube, is the battery still going to get you at least 5 hours? I heard gaming laptops batteries are really bad but this asus is different or it isn't? I recalled an older model similar one people said you could get at least 7 hours even? I find this a bit hard to believe if you are using the laptop the entire time without any break?
So the main reason for this high cost is the 5080 right and the 32gb ram but mainly the graphics card? What is the regular graphics card it uses when it isn't using the 5080? It's the regular AMD Radeon? So by default, laptop uses which graphics card and you need to switch it depending on what you are doing?
Isn't it also true that gaming laptops heat and if it's a smaller laptop like this, then it gets heated faster?
Do people connect this to external monitors usually or they usually use it as a laptop? But if you using it to do any gaming, you have to have it plugged in an outlet right? The thing is what if you are using it with plugged in? If say you use an anker 737 powerbank with it, does it drain really fast? The charger that comes with it has to be like 200W or 250W right?

No gaming laptop on the market has good battery life WHILE gaming, but plenty have 5+ hour run times since you mentioned it specifically. My Legion 5 15" with a Ryzen 350 does 6+ hours pretty easily just general wifi use. But you can find gaming laptops in the 14-16" range that will last 12+ hours on a charge. But then the same size etc without a GPU you can find laptops that last 18+
Laptop auto switches based on what you are doing generally speaking. But yeah when you are on battery it's going to use the built in Radeon, which is no slouch for integrated. Like you could plaly Baldurs Gate 3 on medium on a 1080 resolution with the 890M. It performs similar to like a 1650 from a few years back. Not what you want to rely on for gaming, but again the fact that it can game, means it will do EVERYTHING non gaming you want on battery.
Depends on the laptop, that's what reviews are for though. Build matters, TDP matters etc. Really can't just blanket say "it's high heat if it's a gaming laptop".
Yes the charger is like 250-300. IDK If the ASUS will let you run the GPU and game on like a 100W charger or not, my Legion 5 won't let me run the CPU on performance even if I turn the GPU off which is annoying as hell, but a choice by Lenovo not something inherit.
