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 Tomb Raider until the machine turned itself off.
Battery life is reasonable, but the powerful CPU and GPU will drain it pretty quickly if you task the system hard when gaming. Realistically however, this is the kind of laptop you carry to a LAN event, and then back home. It will really only be used on battery for very short periods of time.
