  1. Laptop Samsung alpha flex 2 loses 5% battery/hr when asleep


    It has very few apps open, typically standard ones like Word, and when I check power consumption it says that they were running in the background for 1 minute per hour or not at all.In the recent past it would drop less than 1% an hour overnight.I understand that the power goes down over time but I don't think it's supposed to lose half the charge from one day to the next without use. So I'm wondering what exactly is wrong here.

    Laptop for general use - ASUS UX430UA or Lenovo Flex 5?

    Looking to get a new laptop in the coming days/weeks. This will be a general use laptop and I don't plan to play games on it. Price range is around $700-800. Looking for build quality, an SSD, good battery life and some upgradability (battery replacement and SSD upgrades). I know you can't expect a top of the line laptop for this price but I'm trying to balance these aspects as best as possible.

    So far I have found the Lenovo Flex 5 14" 81C9000DUS in this price range:
    https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...79&cm_re=lenovo_flex_5-_-34-850-079-_-Product

    And the ASUS Zenbook UX430UA 14" with the following specs:
    • 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7-7500U Dual-Core
    • 8GB DDR4 RAM | 256GB M.2 SSD
    • 14" 1920 x 1080 Anti-Glare Display
    • Built-In Fingerprint Reader
    • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620
    • SD/MMC Media Card Reader
    • 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi | Bluetooth 4.1
    • USB Type-C | USB 3.0 | Micro HDMI
    • ASUS Nano Bezel Design
    • Windows 10 Home (64-Bit)
    After some searching I can find these two for $750 and about $800 respectively. Does anyone have any input on which of these would be a better choice?

    Or if you have any other model/brand suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.
