    Does anyone know how much the discrete GeForce GT240M graphics decreases battery life on the y450?

    I've heard that integrated graphics life is about 4 hours --> given the GT240M's 23 watt draw (11.5 idle), would that decrease to 3 hours or less?

    Thanks.

    As mentioned, it's about 2.5-3 hours if you're not gaming.
