![]() ![]() The reality is that on battery power the GPU clock speeds on the Alienware (and ABS and Dell XPS) are severely reduced and the performance offered is really about the same as the GeForce 8700M GT. That might seem pretty surprising, considering how much faster the Alienware is supposed to be. In our gaming test, the Satellite X205 is barely able to beat out the Alienware m9750. ![]() We're working on getting an HD-DVD in order to test that aspect of battery life, as we expect it will be even worse than with a regular DVD. Still, the results aren't particularly impressive, as it still can't reach two hours of battery life and will thus most likely not last through an entire DVD. A 95WHr battery instead of a 65WHr battery would have certainly helped it to distance itself from the other gaming laptops. The Satellite X205 battery isn't as large as the Alienware m9750 battery, but it does manage to provide significantly more battery life for DVD playback and web surfing.
