I have an ASUS G14 with an R7 4800HS and while nine hours are possible (at ~100% it shows exactly 10 hours), you'd have to set the brightness to a pretty low level and forget about doing anything challenging.

But six hours with your IDE open, brightness at the default level for battery mode and compiling a Node.js + TypeScript project from time to time is something you can reasonably expect to be able to do.

Currently, even though I have my charging set to max out at 80%, I don't look at the charge indicator too often because I know that I have a good few hours before it's time to plug in.
