Isn't the screen eating most of the power in laptops? I just have an old T490 that I don't use very much so I might be not that well informed.

I thought so too, but if Apple is getting more than 2x the battery life vs competitors while having a more dense screen, then I suppose it's not as significant as I had thought.

Denser screen shouldn't use more power though? Lighter, brighter, larger yes, denser IMO not so much.

Denser takes a more powerful gpu and higher data rates to drive more pixels.

Oh yeah, the gpu would have to work more.
