power budget

[hawkeye]

gaming laptops need to be plugged in or you'll have to reduce the power usage

[Supafly]

When unplugged they drain battery quickly so to give you longer battery life they cap performance. If you want better performance when unplugged edit power plan to have higher or max speeds while on battery.

Should be able to set the power plan while on battery to maximum performance. Don't expect to be playing for long on battery tho

Even then, not all laptop batteries have enough output to run the same as when plugged in.

can be a few things

windows power plan
poor battery
overheating

get a laptop cooling pad, and keep it plugged in while gaming

a battery in a laptop is not designed to keep the laptop at full power capability.

An FPS drop with a laptop is normal because the components will prioritize power saving rather than delivering full wattage.

It's the nature of laptops I'm afraid. As others have pointed out, it won't run at full power off the battery.

Yet another reason nobody needs a "high performance" laptop (which is a huge oxymoron really). Desktop PCs are the way to go. Your next laptop should just be a web browser while you invest the rest of your budget into a full size tower.

Laptop would not be running full performance due to power plan or limited in BIOS when unplugged.

likely the power plan
But as stated, laptops are not designed to efficiently run full power while on battery so its natural for performance to be hindered some.
