The light-use test is the absolute longest you can expect the battery to last with careful power management.

Battery life, heavy use

The intensive-use score is the battery life during very demanding, CPU and hard disk-intensive operations with power management turned off.

Hard Disk Shock!

What on earth accounts for the available hard disk space being slashed to 198GB from the 320GB fitted?

I'd imagine...

..it might have something to do with me accidentally hitting the 1 key when I meant to press 2.

I'll amend the database entry and get it updated asap. Thanks for the heads-up. :)

The review says DDR3 RAM, but the spec is for DDR2.
So which is it?

I would appreciate the courtesy of a reply to my query above re RAM.

Apologies...

It's DDR3.
