    Hi, anyone know about what % battery life you lose going from an integrated (intel x3100) to a dedicated (ATI Radeon HD 3450) card (trying to figure out how to configure my dell studio 15). Any input is welcome.

    Somewhere in the ball part of 15-30 minutes. I could be wrong on that.

    I've seen bigger differences on different models so it may be more.
