    Interested to know how much less for lower resolutions. I’m not sure I’ve ever cared for high resolutions - and I’d always pick more battery life given the choice.

      As long as the GPU is halfway reasonable the resolution of the video has very little impact on power draw. Most of the power draw is the screen, and the fact that the CPU and GPU are active. That’s one of the reasons why Intels core 100 series and up have the LP E cores in a separate tile from the regular E and P cores.
