battery life

GamersNexus measured 26FPS on battery (15W) and 30FPS on wall power at 1080p with Maximum settings (Endwalker benchmark). Max is the stress case - dropping to the High or Standard preset easily clears 60 in the open world, making FFXIV very comfortable on the base Z1 for an MMO.

Notes
GamersNexus's 26FPS (battery) / 30FPS (wall) figures are at the maximum preset, which is deliberately punishing. For real play, use the 'High (Desktop)' or 'Standard' preset - the base Z1 will hold 60 in most overworld zones and 40-50 in crowded hubs like Limsa Lominsa. Enable FFXIV's built-in FSR 1.0 upscaler if you stay at 1080p. Cap to 30 only if you want maximum battery; otherwise let it run uncapped at lighter presets.
