    The features page of the NEW Razer Blade Stealth says it has a 53.6Wh battery, while the Specifications on the order page for the NEW Razer Blade Stealth says 45Wh. NotebookCheck said that it had a 45Wh battery in its article on the announcement of the NEW Blade Stealth.

    If it does have a 53.6Wh battery, will it last more than 5-6 hours? NotebookCheck tested the old Blade Stealth to have a battery life of 3h 48m web browsing.

    I'd expect 15% more time but not more. I never got more than 4 hours of use web surfing with chrome on power saving. So, unless they spent a lot of time optimizing the hardware, I don't think it will have improved much.

    If I opt for the QHD instead of the 4K? 5-6+ then?

    Also, which is correct? Features page which lists 53.6Wh or Specifications on order page that says 45Wh?

    That was with QHD. Only 4-4.5 hours. It's really a terribly-optimized laptop for battery life. Add 15% to that with the new battery, which indeed is 53 whr

    Just get an XPS 13! Better in every way, as long as you have the budget.

    My budget goes to US$ 1350. I'm thinking of getting a HP Spectre x360. Thanks for your advice.

    Yeah, you're right. I plan to get a high-powered gaming laptop as well. Something like a GT62VR or GT73VR.

    Thanks a lot, man. I'm just wondering though - is that 7.5hrs of web browsing, word processing, mixed use or what?
