    Which Anti-virus gives the best laptop Battery life?

    Hi, I am really a guy that likes to get the most out of his laptop battery, and I wonder: Does anti-virus drain a lot of laptop battery, and which antivirus does this the least?

    Laptop with SSD for OS, HDD for storage: What about the battery life?

    Hi, I just bought a Samsung 850 EVO M.2 SSD for my Asus k501lx notebook. It is said that the battery life of the laptop, when ran on an SSD, extends by some time. Now, I do want to use the already built-in 1TB HDD for storage. Will I still profit from this extended battery life or will the...

    Asus K501LX Fan noise

    Bought a new (3rd party) battery for my 2011 Asus n55sf.. But only get 1:30 of battery life?
