What's fishy about it?
I've only used it connected to the wall so far, my co-worker had his running for 3.5 hours and the forum thread linked in the bottom of the article has lots of people running it for 3.5 to 4 hours. I just haven't had a change to test the battery that well yet.
Also, "I was imagining myself taking 10 hour+ flights" was a joke as I figured I wouldn't need that much battery so I let go of that requirement.
- nodata 13y agoIf a ten hour battery life was a requirement, why choose not test it? Why go to the trouble of plugging the cable into the wall?
- fekberg 13y agoIt was a requirement from the start, but then I decided to not care about battery life at all as it opened up for lots of more alternatives like this one, Alienware, etc. But you are right, I should test that before I actually rely on it having lots of battery. Will do tomorrow and update the article with my results. Thanks for reading
