The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Almost all of those reviews state less than 1.5 hours of battery life. Is that the case or are they just not taking the right steps to get the reported 4+ hours that I read about on here?

    They probably did not go and change the graphics card to use the integrated cards and were using the 280's or 260's in SLI the whole time. But hey they never specified so who knows...
