Gigabyte GA-T1005M: Multi Touch Tablet PC, Battery Life.

[Dark Mantis]

I'm very pleased with mine even though it's only SATA2 256Gb Corsair Performance. Made a big difference to my laptop in times and battery life. Now it's booting my main system and again it's very impressive.

Might get a 120 gig on for it, I know it will speed it up alot and if it helps battery life too, well MEH

I know I want to get an SSD for my NEW I7 PC build.

Its 4 hours, total waste of money.

Ill keep it and play with though, stupid me trusting Gigabyte reps on thius forum, they HE said 7 hours, LOL.

Must have had it hooked up to a car battery.

Oh well.

[Dark Mantis]

Yes, have you seen the size of batteries they use not very portable though! It's the same with car manufacturers I always wonder how they come up with  those MPG figures. Must have a long downhill track I guess

[Lyta Allexander]

How much extra battery life did you get with the SSD ?


Thanks.

[Dark Mantis]

I really can't say as I never measured it or even tried to see how long I could get out of the battery. All I know is that it lasted longer by a noticable amount.

[Lyta Allexander]

My 60 gig if it was  a noticable amount means the netbook is even crappier for battery life out of the box than I thought or could even imagine.

4 Hours with Wifi on, thats HORRIBLE. I have to build myself a 12 cell battery to make this stupid thing even usefull


OH well, never trust Gigabyte, thats my motto from now on.

Outs.

: / What about brightness of monitor? What are you doing to make it last 4 hours? You could even replace the cells in the battery with larger capacities to increase battery life, they usually use low/medium ones as standard. (My Laptop is 12 cell, but only 7200mAH o.O - MSI GT725)

Everything down everything off, and running in Max battery saver config. Everything you can do has been done, still only 4 hours.

Out.
