So heres the situation, I got an XPS from Dell...this to be exact:
Processor: Intel Core i7-2630QM processor (2.00 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 2.90 GHz)
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
XPS L702X
500 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
500 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM) 2nd Drive
8 GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz (2 DIMMs)
6X Blu-ray (BD-RE)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M 1GB graphics
And first thing im curious about is optimus, this didnt have it. But a friend was mentioning it and im wondering if im going to do some gaming on it which i am...is optimus a must?
Also are 9 cell batteries a nice upgrade? This thing came with a 6 cell and i dont get much out of a 6 cell...and what confuses me is how some of these laptops with almost the same setup have 9 cell batteries.
Im getting while just surfing it seems 2 hours even on balanced or power saver, that doesnt even seem right or is it? Im new to laptops...this thing is mainly for school and some leisure, but i like a machine to have some guts too it as well.
Let me know guys, thanks.
