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 two thirds screen brightness (any less and quality suffers). 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, with the nVidia solution fully active and screen brightness up high.
Battery life is actually pretty good, averaging just under 4 hours use under general ‘light' duties. When watching media, this drops by around an hour, and when gaming the time available is around 1 hour and 50 minutes. The battery supplied is actually rated quite low, so if MSI offered a higher specification battery, the life would be dramatically improved.
Havent had time to read it all just yet, but it seems respectable for the price. a lot of the budget has gone on the CPU. so ideal for workers I think.
Our local PCWORLD store has this machine I think. it looks good, but it was very dirty looking, from the people pawing all over it. Sony machines always do well in a retail store environment
Nice looking machine really for the price, but I think id spend a few hundred more aim higher up their range for a better model
Looks quite average, but the CPU is a good selling point
Man their other models are so much better
yeah, not that impressive overall. ive been contemplating one of the google laptops when they are released. to try a new operating system.
