    Does anyone have the battery life comparing the various graphic card options on the P150EM?

    Looking for the battery life while not gaming. This would be surfing the web and mainly for football season keeping track of various games.

    Graphic cards I am interested in:

    660m
    675m
    7970M

    I know the two Nvidia cards have Optimus and should be the same but how well does AMD's card do using Enduro (I think this is what it's called)?

    According to the latest review from german Anand branch the consumption of the 7970M is lower than 675M in every scenario (and performance much higher ofc) ;).

    Yeah but that doesn't necessarily tell us that Enduro is better, does it? He's asking which is better when not gaming. Would the actual card's consumption matter at that point since it's presumably off? I honestly don't know.

    I assume they should be similar since they should both be off (or bare minimum). I know how well they both perform which is why I would prefer the 7970m.

    They'll all be the same as they're all turned off.
