HP g6 2016 battery backup
Hi Rider,
What is the expected battery backup of hp g6 2016 (15 inch)?
1. Idle
2. Normal browsing / programming
My laptop's battery drains within 2 hours under normal programming whereas my friend is saying it comes for around 3.5 hours. I amvery much disappointed with the battery backup.

Re: HP g6 2016 battery backup
Keep the laptop under power saving mode in battery setiing and switch to Intel 4000 GPU through enduro. Keep the brightness as low as possible. Use earphones or surround speaker syestem instead of in-built speakers. You can get about 4 hours of battery easily in browsing through wifi and general work.

Thanks Rider. It is better now
Any idea on Linux. It really gets hot very quickly as there is no cool sense driver.

Re: HP g6 2016 battery backup
It's hot and more power consuming because of brightness setting and the use of radeon card in graphical processing.
To Adjust with brightness key:
press Alt+f2 , execute gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Change this line
GRUB_CMLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to something like below
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"
Open a terminal by Alt+ctrl +T, Execute sudo update-grub and type sudo reboot . See if brightness keys are working.
To turn off Radeon Card:
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
to your rc.local file (sudo gedit /etc/rc.local)
At the top most not on any other place. It will power off the Radeon adapter at startup
By the way I recommend you to use windows 8 for the best battery life.

Hello,
AMD laptops are attracting me with less cost and more space & memory, are they reliable enough over Intel 3rd Gen Ci5.
Am not a regular gamer, but latest versions of games like Counter Strike, AOE will be on my PC.
Max Budget 38k
Min. requirements
HDD 500GB
RAM 4GB
Long life battery with more than 4 hours working
Good Build Quality
Good Sound Quality
Good warranty
Graphics Intel HD4000 or more or equivalent.
2 USB 3.0
Should connect with HD1080p TV
Windows (Any) optional but good if its pre-installed
Here are few desired
HP 4540s ProBook (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS): Flipkart.com
Samsung NP355V5C-S03IN Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 750GB/ Win7 HP/ 1GB Graph): Flipkart.com
HP Pavilion G6-2010AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph): Flipkart.com
need more options with good performance on lower side of budget (can compromise on RAM for this, as it can be added later)
without any maintance required later

Looking for a lightweight laptop under 40k
I am planning to buy a lightweight (around 2 kg) laptop for around (preferably under) 40000
I am only able to find one laptop remotely close to my requirements
HP Pavilion G4-2049TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 1GB Graph): Flipkart.com
The minimum requirements i'm looking for are:
- A good, fast processor (3rd gen i5, i3 or apu a8)
- Discrete graphics, with a good GPU (like the amd 7670/nvidia gt 630m)
- Light weight, screen size doesn't matter
Is there any laptop model I have overlooked? I will be buying from lamington road, so I should get the laptop slightly cheaper than flipkart.
This one (Lenovo Ideapad S405 (59-348194) Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph): Flipkart.com) seems interesting, but i am tempted towards the better processor of the hp for a 1000 rs difference.
Any help will be much appreciated

Hi, I want to buy a lappy (budget - 40-55K)
I have following options in mind (feel free to suggest any other ..)
Comparison link : Asus K53SM-SX010D Laptop (2nd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 750GB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph) vs HP Pavilion G6-2203TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph) vs Samsung NP550P5C-S04IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 6GB/ 1 TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph): Compare Computers: Flipkart.com
Usage:
For programming mostly on linux and gaming(mostly I play DOTA2 and StarCraft2). Also, I will be connecting my 24inch HD monitor via HDMI port on lappy - will it work with GPUs on above 3 models or HDMI is only functional with integrated intel graphics ?

Am a occasional gamer (limited to CS, AOE & FIFA).
Should I go for A8 4500 over 3rd gen i5 just because these laptops will offer more RAM & HDD space that too cheaper?
Work: Multitasking with HD movies, internet surfing, downloads & software like MS office or MATLAB running simultaneously. Is A8 4500 reliable for these tasks?
Battery should atleast give me 5hrs practically
Build quality should be good to handle a few drops
also include that Laptop life should be more than 4 years (without maintance)

Re: Suggest among these
go for 3rd option. you can game on HDTV from the lappy just fine.
can you be more precise what you are going to use the laptop for? Galaxy Note can't replace a laptop, after all its an oversized mobile.
check these 2: Lenovo Essential G580 or HP Notebook HP 430
if you want 5hr battery life, drop any laptop with a discrete GPU as only under light load you get 5hr+ battery backup. Lenovo Essential G580. If you want better build quality, HP 4540s ProBook
you can't get light weight laptop that are also fast under your budget, specially one with a midrange GPU. There are ultrabooks but the processor is weak and even the graphics processor is clocked low to reduce power consumption. Avoid that Lenovo. It is an ultrabook competitor with a low voltage processor & crappy dual GPU (both GPU are weak). You'll have to go for a full fledged laptop if you want a decent GPU or drop GPU to get a somewhat lightweight laptop.

The HP laptop seems good to me. What's your opinion on that one? I know it is on the heavier side, but even in general it seems better than most sub-40k laptops, possibly barring the Asus K53SM-SX010D (that too has a 2nd gen i5), and is significantly lighter than the asus.
I'm not particularly worried about the lack of OS, but the HP g4-2049tx doesn't have ANY reviews online, and that's a bit of a concern. How does it compare to full-fleded laptops in that price range?

hello guys..i am confused between inspiron 15r 1366 res version and full hd 1080p version..my main concern is whether i will be able to read text in such small display with full hd..i havent seen a 15.6 full hd display before and i have heard about the small text problems..obviously 7730m cant handle games at 1080 so that leaves full hd for browsing, desktop and movies..also if i reduce the resolution to 1366 from 1080 while playing games, will it look bad?..my friend said that if u reduce resolution on full hd display to 1366 than it looks bad as compared to native 1366 res screen..i dont want to regret after buying..so is it really worth the extra 4k for 1080p ?? please help..
