    There's already 100+ pages of GS60 theard and i am lost since 50th page -_-
    So please excuse me for creating whole new theard about this :)

    But I am really curious what is the difference in battery life between these two models(title)

    If there's anyone who can make some tests, please answer to this questions :)

    1. 80-100% brightness, WiFi (Facebook,Notebookreview,Youtube...), backlit on
    2. 50% brightness, WiFi (Facebook,Notebookreview,Youtube...), backlit on
    3. Lowest brightness, WiFi (Facebook,Notebookreview,Youtube...), backlit off
    _______________________________
    4. 80-100% brightness, WiFi Off, 1080p/720p movie watching + speakers 50-100%, backlit off
    5. 50% brightness, WiFi Off, 1080p/720p movie watching, backlit off
    6. Lowest brightness, WiFi Off, Word/Excel/PowerPoint + music, idk if its possible but if yes then set backlit with reduced brightness

    Thanks in advance :)

    Wow, lot of tests requested there ;) First thoughts are compare batteries:

    GS60 has a 6-Cell Li-Polymer (4840mAh 52Wh)
    GS70 has a 6-Cell Li-Polymer (5400mAh 60Wh)

    They have essentially the same specs, so the GS70 should have a slight battery advantage unless the 17" screen uses more power than the 15" on the GS60. I know the GS60 has an IPS comparable screen that looks better, but I have no idea how that translates to power usage either better or worse.

    I'd assume similar battery life with the slight advantage going to the GS70 in the above scenarios knowing it has an 8Wh larger battery and the same basic hardware.
