At the moment I am looking to buy a gaming laptop: The 15.6" Octane III for gaming, graphic design, programming and general work and word processing. Since it is a laptop I will be taking it around, but since it is going to be loaded with a gtx 1070 and i7-7700k, I am concerned the battery life would be too short to carry around when I am not doing processor or GPU intensive tasks. Is there any way to extend the battery life e.g. by not using the dedicated graphics card on the go so that it reaches 7-10hrs of battery life like a cheaper regular everyday PC or is 2-5hrs of battery life fixed for all gaming laptops.
