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 Left4Dead until the machine turned itself off.
Battery life is reasonable especially under the light use test, lasting around 5 hours. when the processor is heavily loaded, such as when gaming, battery life is reduced to 2 hours. The battery charges very quickly to around 90%, in around 35 minutes from flat.
Great laptops, bit expensive for me, but for a business user they rock. weird they haven’t released a new haswell range yet, maybe later in the year?
My boss has one of the older models, its been through the wars and still holding strong. well built.
