Software decoding is an option. My Thinkpad T480 can play 1080p AV1 if the bitrate isn’t super high. That’s a mid range business laptop from 2018. It’s the encoding that really needs hardware acceleration.

What’s your CPU usage? Sure it can handle it but I also would like to use my device without recharging.

Around 25% for a 1080p 30fps youtube video played in MPV. Power consumption is about 10-12 watts. A video with hardware acceleration uses about 8 watts.
