    I currently have the Chronos 7 8770M Best Buy version, and the battery is not up to par with what was advertised. I read that the touchscreen uses a lot of power, so will disabling it save battery life? I rarely use it, and when I will I'll just re-enable it. Thanks!

    I would post the question in the 2013 Chronos/Ativ Owners Lounge thread. Many owners of these models only follow that and the Intro thread and may never see this one.
