Windows 11 | Intel Core M37y30

The m3-7Y30 is an efficiency king. On Windows 10, a fully charged 40Wh battery could deliver 8-10 hours of light use.

On Windows 11, expect a drop of 15-20%.

Why? Windows 11 has more background processes (Widgets, Teams integration, more aggressive telemetry). Even after disabling Widgets, the OS keeps the CPU from entering its deepest C10 sleep state as often. You will likely get 6-7 hours on the same hardware. intel core m37y30 windows 11

If battery life is your priority, stick with Windows 10. The m3-7Y30 is an efficiency king

Yes, but with limitations:

| Task | Performance Rating | Notes | |------|-------------------|-------| | Boot to desktop | 32-38 seconds | Acceptable for 2016 hardware | | Start menu open | Instant | No lag | | Settings app navigation | Smooth | Small 0.5s delay on deep menus | | Search indexing | Moderate | Background indexing can spike CPU to 100% | | File Explorer | Slightly laggy | Especially in folders with many images/videos | You will likely get 6-7 hours on the same hardware

Verdict: The UI is usable but lacks the snappiness of Windows 10. Animations (minimize/maximize) have micro-stutters.
