    I'm curious whether the sager np9570 could be equipped with a bigger internal battery, lets say one that could last 2 hours with light web browsing and 30-15 min gaming? And if possible, keep the weight under 14 lbs? Thanks in advance.
    This is just a question, I will not be buying any time soon but it would be nice if you reply.

    You get 2 hours browsing if you use nvidia inspector to force the GPUs into their lowest power state all the time.

    The battery is physically bigger to allow the quicker than normal drain compared to other systems.

    Not long, it's not meant to game on battery, there are other machines more suited to that task. I can get around an hour of hearthstone in (disabling SLi which you need to do to when on battery).

    Right, I guess you'd have to physically remove the card to see any effect.

    Yes, or have AMD cards with zero core.

    I can't but basically the 9570 is taller (feet to top of lid) while the 18 is wider and deeper.
