    My new 15r3's base model battery only last like 45 minutes (browsing). Could someone help me out with the part number for the 90 + battery that is an option for this model or at least steer me to a parts diagram?

    no, it's probably normal for the basic battery. My 2015 A 15, and older A 14 had short battery life as well. I really just want to max it out as best as I can, such as samsung 960, Crucial Ballistix 32 gb ram, good thermal paste. I've got a good deal on a pre-made model and have only had it for 3 days. I would be thrilled to find info on the top level battery to complete the package.
