    please tell me the battery life of an a6030 with above average brightness while watching a dvd.

    if you can't, please tell me how good fujitsu is with rating the battery life of its laptops, or whether or not pcmag's battery dvd test is still the one it used in 2001: running a dvd on a laptop with full brightness and sound. pcmag rated the a6030 as having 1 hour and 40 minutes of battery life. Since the fujitsu with the good screen is rated at 450 nits, more than twice that of normal laptops, i was thinking that it probably has >2 hours of battery life when playing a dvd at 250 nits (above average since most laptops end at 200). And at the lowest brightness, more than its rated 3.5 hours of battery life.
