The battery life is impressive, but I don't think they edited the article much. For example, this paragraph was left in:

"Another standout feature of this design is the size and quality of the display. At 16-inches across, this panel is dramatically larger than many of the branded products that are priced similarly, and with a natural resolution of xxx, it allows for more applications to share screen space."

It seems they edited that now

Another standout feature of this design is the size and quality of the display. At 13-inches across, this panel is not larger than many of the branded products that are priced similarly but with a native resolution of much higher than usual, it allows for more applications to share screen space.

The arstechnica review shows a rather average battery life: 491 min @ 200nits with the 7840U. That's a pretty stark difference with this review here.

I looked to more reviews to break see if there was consensus. So far, AMD seems to win comfortably on battery and efficiency for most reviews I've seen.

Two of these additional sources would be Notebookcheck and Jost Josh.

EDIT: this explains why Ars' review isn't in alignment with the consensus: https://old.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/16ytxjd/saved_you_a_click_16x_better_battery_life_if_you/k3ar79v/?context=3
