I've recently bought the 2025 G14 ( R9 HX 370, 5060 ) GA403WM and I've been really surprised so far with its capabilities. I've also tried to test its battery life and optimize it by using G-Helper, Eco Mode, Undervolting to -20, Adjusting the watt sliders, etc based on posts on battery optimizatons. I've been able to achieve an average of about 11 watts of discharge, sometimes hovering around 8-16/19 discharge rate while browsing. The least i could get was 6-7 watts while watching youtube and that only happens for a second before going back up to around 10 watts. To be fair, I know that 10 hours can be achieved only with light tasks, but isn't the tasks i've been doing light? Is this discharge rate normal for other 2025 G14 users?

Especially on engineering programmes, do they usually record their lectures?

Hello, I'm planning to purchase the 2025 ROG GA403WM ( AI 9 HX 370 - RTX 5060 ) and based on my research regarding USB-C charging passthrough, it is proven to be problematic and most people seem to have no idea if it actually works or not. I've also found out that the issue where the laptop would charge slowly while battery care enabled ( 80% charging limit ) seemed to be fixed on a BIOS update,

so I was wondering if someone could test this out for me? Thanks
