My new laptop has arrived. I once again took advice from the forums before ordering And am appreciative of all help given Not having owned a laptop before I have a couple of questions. I have seen posts from people quoting specific temperatures. Early days and I don't have any concerns over temperatures at present but I did wonder how people measure these if required?
I had no preconceived notions around battery life and charging time. Most of the time I will be able to keep the laptop connected to a power supply while in use. However. what sort of battery life could I expect from the laptop starting from full charge, playing a game like Shadow of the Tombraider for example? Also what is the typical time taken to fully charge? I just like to check that all is as it should be and have nothing to compare it with. Here are the specs.
