I have had the hp spectre x360 14 inch 2024 for a couple days now and have noticed multiple issues when comparing to performance others experience. The battery life lasts less than 3 hours when doing simple web browsing and school work, and also overheats. I updated all the drivers from hp support assistant. I also made sure task manager was not running any nonessential processes, and noticed my cpu was not overloaded (it was at 7%) and my ram was 40%. I also have enabled settings that allow for longer battery life. What could possibly be the issue?
