    Hallo, i have a new Win8 Vaio S15.
    But my Batterie Life is terrible. Windows show me 2:40 hours in stamina mode, brightness is low and so on. And this the real time, i have tested it.

    What batterie life did you get? I want you know your real batterie life an the time, that windows shows.


    Info. I have replaced my odd with a hdd. But if i deactived the odd/hdd (bios), the time is not really more. :(

    It`s the same more or less here. I also have changed the ODD with the original 1 TB HDD. I did not try disabling it from BIOS but for sure the HDD consumes power so disabling it must obtain more time.

    Yeah that's right. But not so many power, that i get only three hours. I have build out my ssd from the normal slot. So i have only the normal hdd in the odd slot. Then i have 2:50 hours. Not enough. Now i must get normal time, more or less 6 hours.
