    Does the Radeon 2600 produce a lot of heat and kill the battery?

    Hi, i am looking at a gateway m-6862 with a T5750, 4gb ram and a radeon 2600 gddr3 512 ram. I just want to know what is your battery life like and how long does the battery life hold at 2 hours.

    well. with any luck ill be buying the same laptop tomorrow or next week. so i can tell you then. but i suspect about 2 or so hours of battery life. (shouldnt be less than that) i heard it gets a little hot (from best buy reviews) while gaming, but thats pretty much expected putting a gpu under load. it wont be hot enough to cause problems. otherwise. well, it would be like the 7811fx on these forums.
