Archive.org versionOut of the three MSI laptops we’ve tested with the 11th Generation Intel processors, the Katana GF66 happens to have the best battery life. Although all three have the same 53.5Wh unit inside. We got 5 hours and 48 minutes of Web browsing, and about 4 hours and a half of video playback. In order to achieve these results, however, we’ve gone as far as changing the CPU fan curve. We noticed that by default, the processor fan was always spinning. Thankfully, MSI Center makes it pretty easy to tinker with this stuff. Just go to “User scenarios”, then choose “Advanced” on fan control, and drag the dot that corresponds to the cool temperature all the way down to 0%. This means your fan will only start spinning after your CPU has heated up a bit, which is completely harmless and harnesses a bit more screen-on time.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
