AMD A8<br />2. 1TB<br />3. 8GB<br /><br />My issue is on the battery life.<br />I tested the battery with the ff scenarios:<br />1. Online, usual surfing, opened up to 3 Firefox tabs. Battery lasts for nearly 2 hours.<br />2. Offline, opened MS Word, type anything. Battery lasts for nearly 2.5 hrs.<br />3. Offline, just opened the laptop without doing anything. Battery lasts for nearly 2.5 hrs.<br /><br />I had already done the ff:<br />1. Asked the vendor to configure the power management tool.<br />2. Run the laptop in PowerSaver mode.<br />3. Consulted the service center, in which they advised to used balance. I told them that I already used Power Saver. In which they insist for me to observe, which in turn does nothing to the battery life/<br />4. Adjust the display brightness.<br />5. Turn off the auto run of some apps during startup.<br /><br />What to do with this?<br />Is this battery life normal for a new laptop running basic apps?<br />Is mobility not that prioritized in new laptops? reenblues Mobile Computing Fri, 10 Oct 2014 13:27:57 +0800
