Specs would be the Intel Core i7-2630QM, nVidia GT 555M, 4GB 1333Mhz, 1920x1080 15.6 inch display. |
- You're not going to be gaming untethered from the power outlet regardless.
- In desktop mode (non-gaming), your power consumption shouldn't be appreciably greater than the 555M.
- With the 555M you're dealing with the "Optimus" tech. Essentially when you're in desktop mode you're on-board video that's eating system memory. When you game it "flips over" onto the gaming GPU. Simple in theory, but I'm not a big fan of maintaining redundant video devices.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Over at another forum, people say it ranges from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours when gaming and 4-4.5 hours just surfing the web. I think that's good enough for some light gaming when getting my morning coffee, at least.|
