"On Best Performance, the battery ran for about 6.5 hours before dying. On Balanced, it surpassed that time by going over 10 hours. Then, on Best Power Efficiency, the Zenbook 14 lasted a solid 12 hours. Keep in mind, these times were all achieved without battery saver turned on. 12 hours in 2025 is still a decent amount of time.
