    I have a new FE790G laptop. It's great with one exception...battery life truly sucks. It's maybe 1.5 hours at idle and lower with normal usage. But the thing that really bugs me is that it uses 12% of the battery life just to boot up (about 2 1/2 minutes). Is anyone else noticing this much battery usage for startup? Tech supports says this is normal. I say that's b.s.

    Thanks.
