    It's 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours browsing the web on idle. 2 1/2 hours while just doing basic cpu intensive stuff.

    I recommend the 17.... the 14 is just a awkward size.... too small to be powerfull enough, too big to be compact.

    765m vs 765m talking i dont need too much power is just for having a great looking and reliable machine the 17 is alot more user friendly while the 14 is cpu and gpu are not really easy to access and gpu soldered... the cooling is better on the 17 but..

    I dont really see myself in tim horton with a 17" or if i got a girlfriend it take alot of place ( less than my desktop but uh 2200-2500$ is hard to explain while 1600$ seem easier and take less place on the desktop with my subwoofer it a bit hard to place everything and my desktop i have it on the desk to be sure that my hdd dont get too much vibration...

    I dont care the weight i used a m17x r1 some time ago weight about 12lbs

    It for some game like wow rift and future mmo + some old game and music and brownsing reading movie etc
