    Okay, so every week my missus goes to dance class that goes for exactly one hour. I usually watch a tv show or something, and usually have half my battery left. Except the first week where it died after exactly an hour while doing nothing but watching an episode of top gear. But this week I decided to play some planetside and managed to get 35 minutes out of it. On balanced mode with brightness down. Power saver was unplayable so couldn't do that. But is that right? How much should expect play time wise with balanced power mode brightness at about 30 and backlights down a bit too? Do I need to contact Razer?

    Is there some kind of benchmark I can run to test and see how well it compares to an average r2 blade?

    Cheers

    Hmm I haven't read about R2 battery Life (that's the 17inch gen 2 right?)

    I've done testing on the 14.

    Yeah that's the one. How much were the batteries meant to have improved because you are getting about 200% more out of you blades battery... Considering it's smaller and less powerful that's really annoying xD
