The power savings were huge when comparing these browsers with Google Chrome, the worst performing browser in this test. On the ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED UX5401, Microsoft Edge and Opera were the uncontested winners. Here are the results: The browser battery life benchmark results on the ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED UX5401 laptop Next, I calculated the average battery time obtained by each web browser on both devices. I ran the test two times in each browser on each device. To measure how long the battery lasts, I used the Tampermonkey web browser extension to run a custom script that executes the JetStream 2 benchmark every 5 minutes, until the battery runs out. That's because I wanted to simulate a relatively non-stop browsing session on both devices. I used the Balanced power plan on the two devices, but modified it so that it never turns off the screen and doesn’t put the computer to sleep until the battery depletes to 5%. All the web browsers used their default configuration. On both, I installed Windows 11 and the latest versions of all the major web browsers available at the time of testing: Microsoft Edge 103, Mozilla Firefox 102, Opera 88, and Google Chrome 103. The ZenBook 14X UM5401Q is powered by a 63 Watt-hours lithium-ion battery.īoth laptops are new devices that have been used only for testing purposes for about two weeks. This model has a 14” WQXGA (2560 x 1600) touchscreen, an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H processor clocked at 3.3 GHz and up to 4.2 GHz in boost mode, AMD Radeon Graphics, 8 GB of DRR3 RAM, and a 512 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 solid-state drive. This laptop comes with a 65 Watt-hours Li-ion battery. The model I had came with a 14" OLED display with touch, a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, an 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor clocked at 2.80 GHz (12M Cache, up to 4.7 GHz, 4 cores), Intel Iris Xe Graphics, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Samsung solid-state drive. How I tested the battery life for browsingįor these tests, I used two different devices, both with Windows 11 installed:
