Hi,

Just bought the MSi gaming laptop 2 weeks ago.
But seems the battery can only last 2 hours max!

Is this normal?
?
If not, i want to send to service center for battery change. Any advise?

Wifi surfing: 4 hours
Load: 1 hour and 30 minutes

hi, Yes, once you tunr to Eco mode. and turn the fan to low, close those startup you dont use. then then will up to 4 hours. Its normal. wont have problem. Gaming laptop battery life around there. dont worry. cool2.gif
But once you play game need turn to gaming mode and switch on fans and must plug in power adapter.

Agreed on it.. gaming usually will consume more than normal browsing..
