    Hello all hope you are fine :)
    I was considering to buy one but i have some questions :
    1_Is there anything to do with its battery life ? it seems quite low (according to notebookreview it lasts 59min with minimum brightness while web surfing)
    2_Are the fans too loud ?(disturbing ?) i had a XPS M1730 before,is the NP8760 louder ?
    3_How is the sound quality and loudness ?
    4_How is the build quality ?
    thanks :)

    1) Are you asking if you can extend battery life someway? You can try to put it in quite mode, mininal brightness, low volume,... It's only a 3-cell battery so you can't expect it to last that long on a gaming notebook.
    2) The fans are not that loud, People have measured the db level of it and it's below 50db right by the fan (theres a thread somewhere but i cant seem to find it). I dont ever notice the fans at all.
    3) Sound quality is good and as for loudness it could be louder but i find it acceptable.
    4) Build quality is very good. the notebook feels nice and solid. the screen is also very nice too.
