The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for context-aware adaptive computing. In one embodiment, the present disclosure includes a method comprising receiving a request at a first information handling system (IHS) to perform an application computation. The method also includes determining a user's context, the user operating the first IHS, and ascertaining a battery state of the first IHS. The method further includes allocating the application computation between the first IHS and a second IHS based at least on the user's context and the battery state of the first IHS. The present disclosure also includes associated systems and apparatuses.
