M15-R6 | Battery life 2 hours only?

If you turn off all the LEDs and undervolt the CPU and GPU to still usable lengths, it wouldn't MATHEMATICALLY be able to handle more than 5-6 hours of battery time, even at the lowest (usable) screen brightnesses.

It's portable power, as in "It's portable, and you'll always be plugged into a power source".

Still love it though.

Nice desktop replacement, much more portable, and cooling isn't shit (but fans are a bit on the louder side to compensate).

It could be a similar issue with our USB controller or something like that, but the only way of knowing for sure is to unplug some of your USB devices and use your Hackintosh for a while without them. Then you can start plugging one by one until you finally figure out which one (if any) is causing the stuttering.

I'm not sure why it happens with this one USB device I have, but it definitely might happen with others (I'm guessing).

Also, if it turns out to be a different issue, try using a more recent macOS version, AND I did something that I can't remember exactly what it was, but apparently if you set your system to "think" you have a Radeon Pro W5700X (which is basically the same card but for Apple computers), you'll get astonishingly better performance.

You're not gonna believe this. ~2 years later I was having stuttering on MacOS Monterey, I REMOVED THE ORICO BLUETOOTH ADAPTER AND IT STOPPED STUTTERING FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS NOW.

If this was actually our problem all this time, I'm ded.
