Okay didn't use my laptop for a few days(was busy gaming on desktop :p)
today turned on laptop and battery wear levels have risen to 5% :O
Anyone found an effective way to keep this wear level down?

@ratul Previously I was using your 3 day charge and then use method.

And also, how do you clean the screen? My screen has dust spread across it and it looks bad when the machine is off and I look at the screen in the sunlight. Its not visible when I turn on the laptop though.

@dayslleeper Long ago I had a desktop with integrated Ati graphics(HD 4200). Back then I installed far cry 1 once and had that problem which you posted screenshots of. The ground and water were all blue and no paths were visible.

But I installed far cry 1 on my new desktop just to check but it was fine. Have you updated your graphics drivers? If not,I suggest you do that and also try running the game in high-performance mode.

I am planning to place the cooling pad on my bed and keep the laptop over it. And then play the high graphics games. Will this work out with Cooler Master Notepal Infinite Evo Cooling Pad ??

1. Based on its structure, does it blow out hot air even if its kept on bed and blocked from below ?
2. Will the laptop slip even if moved a little. I heard that this is a common problem with elevated cooling pads.
3. My laptop is 15.6" Dell 15r turbo. So is it too big for it?
4. Also I have noticed that the vents in Inspiron turbo are in between left edge and centre of the base. So does this cooling pad suits it coz I dont think it ll be able to suck-in the hot air from the left side vents as the fan placement is towards centre.
5. Any better options inspite of Cooler Master Notepal Infinite Evo Cooling Pad ?? Cooling is the main concern. Budget is within 3000.

nope, that's the best that i have to keep the wear level in control, gosh these dell batteries seem to be pre-programmed to automate the wear level increase, it's almost same for everyone, no matter how they use it.. :(
For the screen, i use lens cleaner (same that's use for specs.. :p), put in on a cloth (again the specs cleaning cloth) and then wipe the screen with it, that cloth easily reaches corners and does'nt scratch the screen..

When i got the lap i was on 0% wear level and within 1 day of usage even in the late night, i gt my wear level to 8.83% as i was a dmb fool coz i was partitioning , reinstalling the windows and downloading & installing the drivers on BATTERY... the next day my wear level goes to 9%....right now it is abt 5 days and my wear level is still 9%, i tried to figure out one thing i have to use the heavy applications, games, and everything in high performance when PLUGGED mode... but while on battery we should have to use only songs, movies, browsing and downloading... and the rest of the things should be on BATTERY in Power save Mode.... I am still on Plugged mode....Hope this 9% will go on like that.. ;)

And i got a Mosto Lap Accessories box, in tht i gt a wired mouse, a fiber cloth+Spray for monitor cleaning +keyboard sweeper + Multimedia+Sim Card reader,writer + AC Universal Power socket + Headset with micro phone for chatting...

The best thing is i got a Philips Portable speaker which can be attached with laptop monitor, great sound (Sterio):)..but no bass :(

Somebody plz answer my query.
 
Go to some mall and see whether the one you want to buy has rubber grips or not.. But even if it has rubber grips sometimes when you are completely into playing the game there are chances that it may slip due to your excessive movement..

i dont get it why people are so worried about small font size in FHD displays ... i have no prob with font size on my FHD display ...if u r worried about font size in FHD displays then how about font size in retina displays 2880x1800 ....they'll nvr make laptops with such displays if there is any problem ....so please stop this font size issue ...FHD display is certainly worth the extra bucks go for it ....as for gaming u can reduce the resolution to 1600x900 u cant notice much difference but the performance is certainly btr ..:cool:

@dayslleeper yeah I know, I use heavy stuff while on power only. And I don't game on it either. On battery,I just surf the net,listen to music(headphones) etc. Don't know what I should do to keep battery wear level to 5.40%(current state).

Guys my graphic probz in Farcry1 is solved, lots of browsing from morning and atlast got fixed it...If any of u guys have any graphics probz in Farcry1 go over here and get cleared...Click Here....

And @Jripper, Yep our battery is a fuking one, but dont worry i think we can control over it too... I browsed alot for it, for now plz use the lap only on plug mode and if u are using battery then get charging when it is in 40%, most of the guys are telling to maintain the charging & discharging cycle b/w 40-100%... and try to calibrate it once in 3 months...I plan to calibrate it 2morrow as mine is 9% wear...
But the good thing i notice tht till yesterday mine was 9%wear and while on battery it was showing max 2hr 50min left (Not using any heavy things)... but 2day mine was showing 3hr 45min average ( watching movies & songs)...


btw guys this lap is awesome in all respects except some in battery things..

^ I know. However different people suggest different charging cycles. Someone suggested 20-90% cycle. Others say 30-100. Not sure which to follow. If only they gave us something other than sanyo batteries. -_-
