    I understand that that R1 has 9400M so you can switch your graphics for more battery.

    I was wondering if this is available for the R2. Is there the third gpu??

    If not, what is the best way to save battery on the R2?

    nop no IGP on the R2

    For the battery saving i found out that the best tool is Throttlestop for me. Also disabling alienfx, reducing brightness etc...

    The most i can get out of it is 1h30m aprox

    that depends from each one needs. Better sometime is a subjective word.
