Mine came with the 62WHr battery. I've watched about 2 hours of YouTube videos and about an hour of just browsing the internet and I'm only at 50% battery now. I have my screen set at 70% brightness and the CPU is undervolted to 0.875V at 2.1Ghz. I can't undervolt the other P-States as PSCheck does not work with Windows 8. Just so you know,I did manage to undervolt the turbo clocks to 1.0V for 2.4Ghz, 1.1V for 2.8Ghz, and 1.15V for 3.1Ghz. All that was done with AMD Overdrive.
Like a said earlier, I'm not experiencing any problems with the keyboard as other were. My only complaint is the lack of physical keys for the trackpad. It works, but it takes some getting use to.
I hope the 8750M can hold its own for atleast 2 years down the line. Because when AMD Kaveri comes out with GCN level iGP, it will create a revolution in Budget Mobile laptop gaming. Also it will be interesting to see what GCN 2.0 Volcanic Island GPU's have in store for the future. 2014 is gonna be Graphicsear with ps3, xbox one and AMD Kaveri making their stand.
I have a Acer V5 552g with AMD A8 5557m + 8750m, and I recommend to all of you to disable Dual Graphics. It really shines on benchmarks like 3D Mark (got 2800 graphics points in 3Dmark11 with dual graphics on, 1800 8750m only.) But in game, it's garbage because nothing is optimized, the games are even running worse than with the 8750m only. So we will have to wait till AMD got the dual graphics thing between GCN and VLIW4 right, I guess.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
