Gaming laptop $1600 budget

Getting a new laptop on black friday, so you can include a laptop more expensive than $1600 if it'll be on sale for black friday. Would prefer Ryzen, and rtx 2060 minimum. Battery life is very important to me. I'm looking at asus a15 https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-IPS-Type-GeForce-Battery-TUF506IV-AS76/dp/B0863DW238/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=asus+a15+2060&qid=1604353293&sr=8-3

 

Let me know if theres any better choices. Also, is there a list showing laptop's WHR battery? Asus seems to be the only one who advertises it (a15 is 90whr, and for some other asus model I saw it was 48 WHR or something like that, but can't remember the model.)

 

Edit: heres the model I was talking about, it appears to be the same as Asus A15 but its 48 whr and a little cheaper, but I want the longer battery life. https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Gaming-Laptop-Backlit-Ethernet/dp/B08B7MY8FG/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&fst=as%3Aoff&keywords=gaming+laptop&qid=1604354923&refinements=p_n_feature_seven_browse-bin%3A18107822011%2Cp_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A13580788011|13580790011%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A17927742011|18107802011|2289792011&rnid=676578011&s=pc&sr=1-2

You’ll need to choose between battery life or gaming, those two don’t mix.

Sure it does, if I game i have no problem having it plugged in, but I like a long battery life while im not gaming. My current laptop acer nitro 5 has a poor battery life (100 to 0 in like 90-120mins while just watching movies). Asus a15 has a much higher battery WHR so I'd assume its better battery life than the nitro

Well that makes more sense with the added context.

 

That said, the 4800H is the most power hungry mobile chip you can buy at 45W under load. If you want to estimate battery life, 90wH means it can deliver 90 watts for an hour before dying, 45 watts for 2 hours, etc. 
 

Factor in backlight and other components and you could probably run the processor full tilt on battery for around 90 minutes, 50% for 3 hours, 25% for 6 hours and so on.

Really? Thought ryzen is way more power effecient than intel. What would last longer if on the same exact laptop: 4800H/4800HS or 9750H/10750H?

 

Also what would last longer on the same laptop: 4800h/4800hs with 2060 vs 9750H/10750H with a 2070
