    Hi, I am deciding whether to buy the 4 cell 60 whrs or the 6 cell 96 whrs version. The smaller battery is the FHD version while the bigger battery comes with the 4K/UHD screen. So can I know which one can last longer when doing light browsing or homework stuff?
    As far as I know, 4K screen needs more battery power, so does that means that the battery life for one full charge of either one is the same when idle which is stated that it can last up to 5-6 hours?
    BTW...can I change the 4K screen resolution to 1920x1080 so it doesn't use more power unlike in 4k resolution, or is it still the same for the battery life if I use either one resolution ??
    Thanks in advance.
