    Wondering if anyone can comment on what the battery life is like on the 9360 and 9370 models.

    I have the 9350 in QHD/i5 now and although I love the machine, but the battery is not great. Im getting about 5 hours now.
    Has this improved significantly in either/the 9360 or 9370?

    Also, would the i7s get better or worse battery life than the i5s?

    Thanks for reading.

    My 9360 gets about 8.5-9 hours running in bat saver mode while on battery. I like a dim screen though, even plugged in, I have the screen at 20% brightness.

    I tested with wireless, and streaming a movie over a smb share on wireless, and it lasted 8.5-9 hours. I have an i5/8gb/256/FHD 9360.
