I'm searching for a laptop suitable for my daughter's high school journey, focusing on portability and, above all, long battery endurance. We require something that remains functional for about four years—durable and not outdated before she graduates. It should be slim, lightweight, and deliver solid battery performance. Of course, gaming is important too.

She has mentioned specific game requirements:
- Absolute minimum: Intel i5-4460 & GTX 770
- Recommended: Intel i5-8400 & GTX 970
- Desired smoothness: Intel i7-9800X & RTX 2080

Which option from the list fits best in terms of performance and battery life?
- Razer Blade 15 Adv.
- RZ09-03304E42-R3U1
- Intel Core i7-10875H with GeForce RTX 2070 Super
- Razer Blade 15 Base (4.6 lbs)
- Intel Core i7-10750H with GeForce RTX 3070
- MSI STEALTH (3.73 lbs)
- XoticPCSKU#713666 15M A11UEK-220
- Intel Core i7-11375H with GeForce RTX™ 3060
- MSI STEALTH (3.73 lbs)
- SKU#713517 15M A11SEK-210
- Intel Core i7-1185G7 with GeForce RTX™ 2060
- MSI SUMMIT (3.64 lbs)

Please let me know which one matches the ideal balance of features and endurance.

Sorry but this won't occur. Laptop components perform much worse because of power limits. The models that approach desktop quality are extremely heavy and typically lack sufficient battery endurance.

Would any of these options come near the performance of an i7-9800X without being bulky or draining the battery? Or would it be the graphics card that would drain the battery and cause fatigue?

Observing real devices highlights the balance. A top-tier i7-11375H paired with RTX3060 offers more power than an i7-1185G7 with RTX 2060, but uses less battery. Are there other affordable options that match the performance of a mid-range i5-8400 and a high-end i7-9800X while keeping battery life intact? Where can I typically find such setups for sale?

Someone could assist you in locating the optimal balance for what you need.
You’re asking if the listed models are arranged from lowest to highest battery performance to highest, and whether you believe this reflects their ranking by performance and portability.
Could you confirm if the order matches your expectations of best performance versus best battery life?
