I've just got my XPS M1530 with this configurations:
Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 2.5 GHz 6MB L2-Cache
4GB DDR2-SDRAM
GeForce 8600M GT 256MB G-DDR3
200 GB 7200 RPM Free Fall Sensor Harddrive
Intel Wireless Next-Gen
LCD WSXGA+ 1680x1050 TFT True Life
56-WHr battery.
My questions:
1. After I got it, I charge the battery for 8 hours. Then I took off the battery and use the AC power.
Yesterday, I tried the battery to find out the battery performance.
When I turn my laptop on, it DID NOT INDICATE 100% BUT 94% ONLY.
Is it normal if the FULL CHARGED CONDITION BATTERY is 94%? So where does the 6% go?
If it is normal, why it can be like that? Please give me detailed information.
2. I use it to read email, Internet surf and video call and only got it for about 1 hour and the battery indicator show low battery (24%). Is it normal to get only short hours of using but it ran out very quickly? What I have been thought was I haven't even use it for programming, playing high-requirements games, 3-D rendering or other heavier task!
Or maybe other component of my specifications above affecting the battery performance? Maybe the harddrive which is 7200 or the graphic card or what?
3. I feel that it is different between using battery and AC power. I feel that the screen brightness is darker if using battery, what I mean is I feel that the electrical supply to the screen is not enough.
Is it normal if the screen behave like this?
Thank you.
