Vostro 5490 has very short battery life
Hi,
I've got a Dell Vostro 5490. i7-256gb-8gb ram. I bought it in november 2019. And 90% of the time I am using for surfing on chrome-opera and battery dies so fast. I dont expect to live like 15 hour smt but it only survives 4 hours. Is there any solution-based actions that I can take, programs/settings, or smt like that. Ps. I keep updating my bios,dell drivers and windows.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Four hours from a 3-cell, 42 WHr battery is probably about the best you can do if you're actively using the system (screen on, with a live WiFi connection). You can dim the screen as much as you can tolerate, but the wireless adapter being always on, you'll find that limits the battery runtime.
