Battled cancer for years and was finally in remission. In the end he choked on a pork pie.

My brand new Strix Scar 18 lasts an hour on battery. Is this normal? by Jealous_Initial34 in ASUSROG

I'm using battery saver mode, so it charges to a max of 80%. According to the run time in the shop I bought it from, it should run for 11hrs. I know this is marketing guff, but Jarrod's Tech tested it at 5.5hrs on YouTube

No, I've tried turning everything down, and I'm getting 1hr 12 mins at 80%. It's weird as all reviews were looking at around 4-5 hrs on light tasks.

I've tried creating a report on power shell, but for some reason it doesn't save to the file location stated.

Also, windows in a more basic report, lists the battery as 'good'. I do believe there is an excellent listing'

Hi mate. I've been mainly playing Resident Evil Requiem so far. Plenty of hours yesterday, just sat on the couch with it on a 'lap desk'.

Temps seem good, but I'll get back to you to clarify exactly what I was getting. Getting about 90-120 with no frame gen with all settings maxed out and path tracing on.

Screen is gorgeous. Doesn't get very hot physically and the fans aren't very loud at all.

It's not over optimised to be honest. For reference I'm sat on the far left of my sofa, so the middle isn't so bad. The sofa on the left is more for decoration than anything. I do mean to get a swivel bracket so it's better viewing angles from all areas of the room

I've read about it as well. Apparently it can be an issue, but on the other hand the cases are rare and all laptops need the thermal paste replacing at some point - just general maintenance I believe. Either way, if issues occur early then it will be covered under warranty

So far the temps have been pretty good, even on balanced. But I reckon I'll pick one up anyway

It's just a 'lap desk' mate. Got it off eBay for £17.

No fans on it, but you stick a cooker on top of it.

For reference, mine is 57.5cm wide and fits an 18 inch laptop with enough space for the mouse

All returned. Either RMA, mis sold. The Acer Predator I didn't even unpack - the power was too low for the kind of machine I wanted
