    Has anyone tested the battery using NVIDIA vs. Intel? Is there a big difference between the number of hours/minutes you get between the two? I understand gaming will significantly drain the battery but lets just say under usual usage such as browsing, emailing, listening to music, some photoshop etc.

    Also, does the battery drain issue still exist in the Z11 where the battery is drained even if the system is fully powered off?

    You can find all these answers in the Z owners topic. But just to be nice;
    - Intel card - about 3,5 - 4 (although 5hours is possible under conditions)
    - nvidia card - about 2,5-3 hours

    It all depends on exactly what you're doing tho, for example for youtubing makes battery life go faster.

    And last but not least; the Power drain is still there more or less.
