    Hello.

    I spotted that my fully charged battery level is dropping. in about week or so of some quite decent usage it dropped from 100% to 97%. Is there not enough power supply or something? my adapter is for 120W.

    It's normal. It will go until 95% and then start charging to 100% again, at least that's what my GT627 does.

    Thats what batteries do, they slowly lose charge over time. Luckily for you, the BIOS is such as it will going start charging once you hit 90%/95%. Keeps your battery from constantly being topped off and thus wearing away faster. Or at least that's the theory behind it.
