    hello,

    I'm in USA and found new model SAGER NP3652 (CLEVO P650RZ)
    I don't need dedicated GPU for my work, but battery life and RAM are important for me.
    How long this model can run on battery?
    What's max RAM I can put it?
    How large and heavy external PSU? I see it's 90W

    I need 6 hours on battery and 16 GB - 32 GB RAM to run multiple VMs.
    If this model will not address those reqs, which other model can?
    What's good place to place the order?

    Thanks.

    Battery life on that you are looking at about 2-3 hours depending on use/power settings you use.

    There's not many models that you are going to get 6+ hours out of, possibly look at an Asus machine which will boarder on that.

    thank you for the reply.
    are there any reviews for this Laptop?
    Can it support 32Gb RAM?

    BTW - I checked for Asus with 6700HQ that comes even with dedicated NV GPU and larger 17" screen in specs has 4 hours ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232766), so I thought this model can be more efficient ...

    no it can only support 16gb of ram.

    The battery life that you would see on that Asus would likely be around 4 hours or so. You would probably want an integrated GPU if you only care about CPU power and nothing graphically intensive.

    Echoing what Alex said: It really is hard for a system to achieve 6-ish or more hours of battery life, unless perhaps you're going with a model that has a ULV processor, or a very entry level one.

    thank you for all your replies.
    what model can you recommend that can go for 4+ hours in 15.4" without dedicated GPU with i7 5xxxU or H or 6xxxH? Sager or MSI as I need good KB
    Acer will not work due to KB and touchpad

    this is for college and RAM in important as multiple VM will need to run

    Maybe a Lenovo system? I don't know how you feel about them or what kind of battery life any of their models are sporting, but they tend to have good keyboards also.

    You may want to ask this question in the What Notebook Should I Buy forum. :vbsmile:
