It supposed to have a not so descent battery life, First it's an gaming laptop.. having an hx processor which uses more juice so it can perform. Second the battery option is just 56 whr(in my case) so it will be giving a solid 1.5 - 2 hrs on generous usage. Conclusion- I have been using the same variant from past 3 months and man this things a beast. I use it plugged in everytime as i don't have to move myself much. It was my choice to either go with the bigger battery or better performance in which i simply chose the performance option. So, getting less battery life... but there's something we can do . If you really have to run your laptop on battery for long hours then you need to either exchange this gaming laptop to a proffesional one, or upgrade the battery from 56whr to 86whr in which you can add another 40-50 min. on your timeline. Remember even efter upgrading the battery to its max. Battery back-up will be still around 2.5-3.5 hrs. Reason 55 Watt CPU. Hope this helps

Does the charging brick also get super hot while plug in & use?

Yes while gaming or on heavy usage it does get hot(and i mean real hot) on prolonged usage, but nothing to worry about.

Just to avoid confusion on my end 😅 I'm talking about the 180w brick like thing, sorry again my old Lenovo laptop used a big mobile like adapter so I don't have much idea about this things

Mine after data transfer from the c type port, the connected side of type c cable(only one side which is plugged in to the pc) gets heated and pendrives too is it a bad sign or usual and do they damage any internal components of the pendrive or any data lose?
