9 Cell Battery - m1710 XPS

can anyone pppppplease tell me
what it it like to use the battery that comes with the dell m1710 XPS
??the web site says it last about 2 hours?

ALSO - is it true that the 512 vide card ge force would chew up alot more battery that the 256 ge force video card??

 

Depends on your activity, there are some M1710 review on the site, take a look at them.

 

yeah

i kno wll about it depending on activity

im jujst asking anyone who actually has one

if they leave it "on" and do not use it at all.

whill it die in say 1 hr - 3 hours s etc

 

the reviews do not specifically talk about actual battery tiome

damn

 

Then I can't help any further, better wait for the others.

 

Yes it does depend on activity, but if the review is written by Dell the chances are that they are wrong - Dell have just been going further and further downhill. I suggest you read an independant review like on this site to find out. As you mentioned if they don't actually talk about battery time I suggest you google it and make sure that the information is coming from an independant source.

 

yeah

i have alrwday done that

i have read so many reviews for this p.c

they are all good reviewes biut no one really talks about battery life....

ill wait and see if any users here who own that p.c

will write and tell

 

The XPS M1710 gets about 2 hours of battery life on the low end, and you could probably push it to 2.5 if you turned down the screen brightness:
