I'm curious how long the battery lasts. That thing must have a beefy discrete GPU given Razer's pedigree.
I'm guessing 2 hours might be wishful thinking (which is actually OK for me, since I'm plugged in >90% of the time).

I guess that the dGPU is only used when all three screens are extended or an application that requires a dGPU is running. Similarly to MBPs which by default use the Intel GPU and only on demand switch to the dGPU.
- slantyyz 10y agoI think the latest onboard Intel graphics (the ones used on gaming laptops at least) can drive a trio 4k screens [1] - I assume that would allow the battery last longer when not gaming. FWIW (anecdotal), I have a 4K non-touch Windows laptop with nVidia dGPU switching, and I can barely get 3h on battery (am a heavy Chrome user).

- mschuster91 10y agoThat might be due to a lack of Chrome optimization on Windows - on OS X Chrome activates the dGPU for me only when something employs WebGL or plays any form of media.
