"Battery time is not like Macs. ~ 5 hours (after one year)"

There are different battery choices of 72, 48 and 24 watt hours. I believe the 72 watt hour battery "bulges" a bit and makes the laptop not sit flat.

Edit: You could also disable the MX150 GPU if you don't really use it.

What is up with windows laptops battery? Even though a brand new laptop could last for 14 hours it degrades so much after an year.
