    I know a lot of laptops have this feature. Does the m11x? I feel like my battery meter is off. Its jumping around a lot and at 60% it says I have 1hr4min left and then I keep gaming for another 30-60min. Am I looking for the correct feature?

    The meter shows the amount of time it will last for based on what you are currently doing. Gaming will of course bring that time down and something less intense, lets say, typing a report in Word, will make that time go higher. Its all relative.
