Yeah, a lot also depends on a couple of settings as well. Whether you have your laptop on powersaver, recommended or performance and what your screen brightness is set to being the primary factors. I usually have mine on recommended with full brightness. I can get about 4 hours on power saver with 65% brightness playing blueray. However there is a slight drop in framerate on powersaver which is why I never use it. I can get about 3h 30min on recommended with 65-70% brightness which is still very visible. I like my brightness way up though. I have a 9 cell battery though since I use this laptop for gaming as well. On a standard battery you'd proably get about 1h 30 - 2h. |
It seems like it still has a little ways to go with efficiency, considering the standard battery life you mentioned. Overall, it sounds better than I thought though.
