Thanks to an in-depth Anandtech review way back in 2011, I purchased a super cheap Dell Vostro laptop with a staggering 8 hours of battery life, pretty much unheard of for Windows laptops at the time. Plenty of OEMs would straight up lie, but AT's battery tests provided the proof consumers needed.

It's sad to see the state of 'tech journalism' in the Youtube age when it comes to hardware products. I feel like I'm watching a 20-minute lifestyle commercial rather than an actual nuts-and-bolts review. I guess that's what gets views and affiliate link revenue now.
