Played with the settings a little... Thanks! where do you find the minutes left?Just to do a little test, I just switched my machine from Power Saver to High Performance to see what it estimated battery life at.
at 49% battery- power saver mode said 1 Hour 29 Minutes, High performance mode says 39 minutes remaining
Generally, you can just place the mouse over the battery icon and it will show you the estimated time remaining. If you don't see the battery icon, you may have to play with some settings in your task bar to always display an icon.Played with the settings a little... Thanks! where do you find the minutes left?
