Could be viruses, bloatware or just some bug. Sometimes some programs or services may get into a long loop of consuming CPU which may cause shorter battery life. My i7 in MSI GE75 10sgs draws 13W on average.Ĭheck if some weird process consumes > 10% of CPU in Task Manager all the time. My surface studio i5 draws 6W on average. Microsoft in a battle of sleek, ultraportable laptops (Image. You'll need to be more proactive and try to narrow down the issue yourself.
