    Can anyone tell me how good the battery life of the ASUS G1S is? I am not so concerned with how many cells it has, rather how long a typical battery lasts while using the notebook in these situations:

    1) Light usage (performing single productivity duties like Word or Excel)
    2) Moderate usage (web surfing, couple of IM's, maybe working on a Word document or two)
    3) Heavy usage (gaming)

    I read all three of the reviews here at this website concerning the G1S - two of the reviews were with the Go 7600 and one was with the 8600M GT 512MB videocard. Can anyone give me a typical run time of a GS1 outfitted with a 8600M GT with 256MB GDDR3 memory in the above scenarios?

    It's pretty low, about 3~ hours under light usage, 2-3~ on moderate and probably a bit over an hour while gaming.
