What sort of battery lifes do you get running in stealth mode doing word processing? Is there a large enough increase to warrent the battery smartbay? I'll definitly buy it eventually, just curious as to weather i should slim down elsewhere to put it in for the time being.

when you buy the standard battery and the smartbay battery your m15x will run twice as long. That means 4,5-5 hours as long as it's not under light load.
-
well not exactly twice as long because the normal battery has 5200mAh, the SB battery has 3800mAh. but definitely noticeably longer.

full brightness , with everything on(even full alien fx) except blutooth, doing web browsing i get like 1:20 minuites. they say that you can get double that with smart bay battery. btw i was using high perforamce deticated graphics and stealth mode. if i where to enable intergrated graphics i guess i would have around another 20-30 minutes.
EDIT I MEANT TO SAY 1 HOUR AND 20 MINUTES -
Oh thanks that's what I wanted to know. So the general answer is it'll effectivly add 70-80% extra life? Guess I have to buy it when I get my M15X
definitly worth the extra cash now.

Using all the possible ways to save power, I can get 4 hours on just the regular 6 cell.

That's pretty impressive considering the possible power you can get from the M15x through it's 8800 which is obviously a massive draw for most of us I'd say. But to also obtain 6+ hours possibly with the smart bay? Beautiful, I don't know how I can't order one now.
