Battery Tests
Battery Life With Games, Presentations And DVD Movies
The figures given for battery life are derived from an average of several measurements taken with the three different PowerMizer settings at maximum display brightness.
In comparison with other 15" notebooks, the PCG-NVR23 is not exactly economical in its use of the 60.1Wh battery. At best, the performance provided for serious gaming is surprising. In absolute terms, just over an hour of mobile gaming does not seem like much. However, when you take into account the average frame rates that can be achieved, it puts the results in a completely different perspective.
The results for the endless loop presentation were disappointing. The Evo N1015v lasted over an hour longer in this test. A DVD playing time of just over two hours is not particularly impressive.
