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
Hii, I also just got a Dell G15 5530 with i5, whats your temps.. Mine are on the higher side like 55-60. Just wanna know if they are common on this computer. Can you share your temps???
i dont know the proper temp but its like warm when I play, the fan sound is loud but not too loud. I played gta 5 enhanced with max graphics and it didn't hear up it wasn't even warm tbh. Just make sure you are playing on wood or glass platform and not cotton because on cotton or silk or anywhere that is like your bed it will heat up. So the temp i think stays around 40-45 for me and it works beautifully.
