Hi All,
Just wanted to share my experience with my "base" M17x R3's battery life. So I was at a Starbucks the other day and all the tables near the power outlets were taken.
I was for sure not going to be able to use my M17x R3 for a substantial time, right? Wrong. I powered on the laptop with 100% battery. Switched my graphics from the discrete AMD 6870HD to the Intel 3000HD. Connected to the free WiFi and was able to use my laptop for over 2 hours! By the time I had to leave, I still had about an hour remaining according to the battery meter.
The laptop wasn't playing games or anything but just browsing the web and playing some youtube videos. I honestly didn't think the battery would last as long as it did based on what I've read about the M17x's battery life. I am pleasantly surprised to say the least.
