How’s the battery life? I was considering one recently but saw some claim that the battery would only last 4-6 hours and that put me off.

I have the 55Wh battery. When I’m not using the Power Saver profile, I’d say it lasts for 5-6 hours. Using the Power Saver profile, I get around 6-7h. Keep in mind I have the base Ryzen 5 model and 16GB of RAM, so power utilization may vary depending on your configuration

What would be a configuration to maximize battery life?

I didn’t really configure anything apart from installing power-profiles-daemon, selecting the Power Saver profile in Gnome UI and lowering my screen brightness. If you’re planning on getting an Intel Framework laptop, you could use TLP to further tweak power usage but on AMD, you are advised to only use the power-profiles-daemon.

Here’s a resource on Framework’s website that may be useful to you
