Product: OMEN 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop PC 15-en1000 (2T3A6AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I have bought an omen 15 in december and i was really satisfied with it until i saw how quickly my battery life ran out. It went from 100% to 90% in just 2 minutes and that's with the power save options on. I found this to be so weird so i contacted the HP support service, but their solutions didn't work. The maximum of battery i get from this laptop is 2 hours. Is there any way to fix this or should i just buy a different laptop? This is really annoying for university classes. Thank you in advance!

A 15" gaming notebook will not have long battery life unless it is set to power saving.

 

Unfortunately, gaming notebooks are meant for gaming, not long battery use.

 

Yours sounds like it is set to the performance option.

 

If it is set to balanced (HP recommended) you may get 3 hours out of it.

 

The Power saving setting will be your best option for university classes. 

 

Click on the magnifying glass in the systray and type in power options. that is where you can make the change.

 

The perfect HP notebook for a full day of university classes would be an HP Spectre X360-13 notebook.

 

When I fly to Europe from the US in balanced mode, I have battery power for the entire flight.

Can you try windows 10?
I've seen multiple reports of people only getting 2 hours of battery life while windows 10 gave 4+ hours.

even reports of people going from 9 hours to only 6
