I'm going to respond, whatever you say!
Have you checked the power profile? Can you reduce brightness and/or reduce the time before the laptop goes to sleep? 6 hours doesn't sound great on a new laptop.
You may also be able to get an extended battery. It might take more space at the back of the machine but might be worth it.
Thanks

Yes, I've checked power profiles and am familiar with such/amending/etc - I agree 6 hours isn't brilliant.
I'm all cabled up at present so am unsure whether the battery is removable/swappable on this model.
I'm now at 85% and 2h 23mins in the 15 minutes since I posted the figures above.
I'm running
Chrome - 5 tabs
DuckDuckGo - 19 tabs
Notepad - 1 tab
Word - 1 doc, small
Excel - 1 workbook, small to medium sized
Grammarly
and all the other bollocks that usually runs in the background of a Win11 device without you asking for it
