    Thanks for the reply! I have an R1 and R2, and feel like I got tons more battery life out of the R1...going to do a couple battery benches and just keep the battery that lasts longer. Happy they haven't changed the design.

    The r1 gets the best battery life of all the m11x versions. I have my set up to actually get 10+ hours of battery :)

    Combination of heatsink mod, maxed ram, no OC and everything off but the screen and the keyboard gets me 10+ hours of web surfing.

    The heatsink mod helps out the most with the intel gpu. That gpu doesnt get all that hot anyways, but it does get hot enough to turn on the fans. With the heat sink mod, the fan will never turn on.
