Hello. I know this isn’t completely related to Linux, but I was still curious about it.
I’ve been looking at Linux laptops and one that caught my eye from Tuxedo had 13 hours of battery life on idle, or 9 hours of browsing the web. The thing is, that device had a 3k display.
My question is, as someone used to 1080p and someone that always tries to maximise the battery life out of a laptop, would downscaling the display be helpful? And if so, is it even worth it, or are the benefits too small to notice?
You’ll have to downscale the resolution unless you have super human vision. I suspect that the laptop is configured to ~150% ootb which would mean those battery estimates are based on that as well.
I don’t think upscaling the text/UI and downscaling the whole screen are the same thing.
The one usually works best with the other, though.
EDIT: nm, I see what you were getting at in their comment now. Thy also meant downscaling the Text/UI, not upscaling.
