I just ordered my second framework (my wife has an 11th gen and we love it). My gigantic, comically oversized gaming "laptop" has died. My laptop will be mix of home, work and occasional gaming. With the amd folks, what kind of battery life with gaming. When i do play its usually a short burst of skyrim, no mans sky, or v rising. Nothing super intense. Just wondering what to expect. I got the 7840u version. Thanks! I know native resolution is out but maybe 1080p or the 3:2 equivalent.

Performance-wise, all those games should be fine. Haven't tested V Rising on integrated (on my 6850+680m), but the other 2 are great. NMS with FSR2 will probably allow you to go native res after upscaling.

Battery life will depend on your settings. Make sure you use vsync or a frame limiter in every single game.

I don't have my AMD FW yet, but I'd expect about 2 hours based on specs and expected power draw, which you may stretch to more if you tune your games and power settings.

Surely someone will come in who can attest to their experiences
