Hello, my brand new Asus laptop has horrible battery life on Windows 8. I got it only 3 days ago, and I calibrated the battery by depleting it and recharging it, but the battery dies only an hour and a half after being unplugged. 100% to 0% in an hour and a half. I have bluetooth off and I'm always on power saving mode with the brightness all the way down. Is the battery a dud? What should I do? Thanks for your help!
