This page is only relevant for the DinoPC Slayer 15.6″ GTX870M system.
To test today, we are putting the machine through a variety of ‘real world’ situations, mirroring the real world usage of a potential customer.
One as a media movie lover on the move (wearing headphones), a person wanting to watch high definition media on a train journey or bus with screen brightness two notches from maximum.
Second as a businessman, with screen brightness around half way. Wireless was enabled. A mixture of checking, answering emails using Microsoft Office and editing pictures in Adobe Photoshop.
Lastly as a gamer, playing Watchdogs until the machine turned itself off.
Under general use situations the battery would last between 3 hours and 30 minutes and 4 hours. When the Nvidia GTX870M was active the battery life would drop to around 1 hour and 20 minutes.
