So i have gotten a t490 just recently, and ive installed fedora on it, gnome power profiles daemon said it was “on my lap” and wouldn’t let me change the power profiles even when on a desk. So i masked that, and installed auto-cpufreq, but the laptop still draws about 10W (according to powertop) when watching a youtube video, leading to 4-5 hours of battery life.

any tips on how to reduce the power consumption?

    Alright, I seem to remember someone saying that I could expect 8 hours of battery life, which is why I asked, thank you! Edit: spelling
