Alienware M11x R3 review (Core i7 2630UM)

To test the battery today we put the machine through three sets of real world situations. One as a media movie lover on the move, a person wanting to watch HD media on a train journey or bus with one brightness setting from maximum. Secondly as a business man, using the machine for productivity with wireless enabled and balanced power settings with a mid way (around half) brightness setting. Thirdly as a gamer on the move, playing Crysis at the highest settings at low resolution with the nVidia solution fully active and screen brightness up full (worst case scenario).

Battery life is very strong from this machine, getting close to 5 hours with our businessman test. The machine recorded close to 3 hours with our high definition media test and an hour and a half when gaming. The Alienware software is very configurable, allowing a wide gamut of settings to be fine tuned to coax additional battery life.
