Recently bought the VX 15. The battery life only says it would last for 2.5 hours on a full bar in idle. I've tried resetting the battery but still get the same reading. I know it should last at least for 7-8 hours without any program running.

    Make sure the power settings are set all to balanced or power saver from power management and nvidia control panel. Also lower the brightness of the display. To reach the advertised battery life, you should have battery saver turned on, display btighness - 0% and laptop being idle all the time.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
