Review: Aorus X9

Benchmarks: Power Draw and Battery Life

Despite the larger chassis, Aorus hasn't increased the size of the battery, and you factor in the choice of hardware components, it's perhaps no surprise to find that battery life is merely just a couple of hours. The Balanced power profile has been tweaked at the factory to limit the CPU to 2.8GHz, yet that does little to help longevity and you'll want to keep the charger with you at all times.
