    I am curious about the battery life on this laptop while gaming with the iGPU. I ask that because it would be nice to have the option for playing indie and older games during long travels.
    Anyone made that test yet?

    Suggest a game from the list below and I'll see if I can try it. Just leave it running for a while. I have an aero 14 i8750h but should give similar results. [​IMG]

    Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated

    From this list I only know "to the moon", "monaco" and "state of decay". So any should suffice. Granted, SOD seems more demanding, so I think either To the Moon or Monaco.

    Edit: Monaco looks like a better fit.

    66% battery after 2 hrs ish of just having the game on. So that's 12% per hour so looking at 8 hrs of to the moon. Will do Monaco later [​IMG]

    Ok now 1:46pm and it's at 12%.

    So roughly 3 hrs so 16.66% an hour so on full battery around 6 hrs enough for a mid hall flight I guess. Although no internet to play Monaco so if an offline game maybe longer. [​IMG]

    No worries.

    Yeah 6-8 hrs gaming is actually pretty good for indie old-school games, Especially for a laptop.
