    Hi There , any 2920 owner has their battery life last more then 5hour? mine got only 4hour +.

    I would like to ask 2820 user , do you get more then 5hour+ battery life?

    I decide to downgrade my 2920 , if 2820 is last longer then 2920.

    Brightness setting , 50% not lowest. other setting lowest , using intel gpu.

    I think it would better if you share your's setting that could last more then 5hour+?

    I only watch movie , browser movie like (youtube) and normal use , nothing hardcore like gaming.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Aikimox again.
