    I'm using one WIN 11 instance on my M4 Pro and I noticed working on it in fullscreen and almost exclusively on a given day, that it's heavily draining the battery, basically cuts the charge in half. Is this a know issue or to be expected? Would love to get your comments.

    That sounds about right to me. You can get extra battery life by reducing screen brightness. High screen brightness is one of the biggest draws on the battery
