So as the title says, my laptop underperforms on everything when not plugged in. For example, when gaming, with battery I only get around 60fps, even with the max performance mode on. When plugged in, I get around 120fps and everything is much faster. Is this normal? I’ve heard that having the computer plugged in always is not good for the battery which worries me, because it only has 2 hours of battery life.

    Notebooks only achieve their maximum performance when connected to the power adapter! Even if you configure the battery for high performance, you will not perform as well as if you plugged the notebook into an electrical outlet!
