G5 Battery Life
I have a Dell G5 with the highest specification and my battery only seems to last for around 2 hours at max when just watching videos online when other sources have reported that they get around 5 hours. Is this a problem with my battery or is this normal?

If you're actively watching videos with a live network connection, it's not unusual -- the five hours quoted is likely with the screen at half-brightness and CPU power throttled back.

I think it's more than that - just this morning I was using the system to do some work on powerpoint, with the brightness at 20% and everything on power saver, and I had an estimate of 4 hours battery life. Twenty minutes in I have just under 3 hours estimated and I'm sure that it'll last much less.
