Not if you use TLP or acpi, I have a lenovo e495 that's two years old almost still getting 6+ hours out of it with TLP even with the power hogs that Ryzen Mobile chips can be when using a second display.

The bigger issue is Nvidia drivers for those with those chips but I got the gf's working just fine (with great battery life) just required I do a little trial and error after some r-e-s-e-a-r-c-h
