Q: What's the expected battery life in hours?
A: 6 hrs easy. 8 hrs if turn screen brightness down and enable battery saving and you're doing light browsing and some videos. I played 9 hrs of Netflix video series continously ( 14 videos, 45 minutes each, back to back auto play ) and still had 1.5hrs left. If screen is full brightness then battery life will be less. If you're playing intense game may get 3.5 to 4.5 hrs. I love it as I code, browse web, watch few videos... and it last at least 6hrs. I charge my laptop where ever I go so it's only when I did initial testing that I observed times above. If I go mall I find outlet and charge while using. If I go resturant I find outlet. So I've not been in a situation where I used it until it drained. When I was testing playing Netflix videos, I started videos, went to bed and it was finishing 14th and last video when I woke up. I muted sound which may have helped prolong times, but good thing is it proved system could stream videos continuously without any issues or incidents over wifi and I had 1.5hrs left bases on computer stats. I ran videos with brightness set to 40% or 50% which is bright enough in room...
Q: What is the model number of the 1TB SSD drive?
A: NVMe PM951 SAMSUNG
Q: Is the Solid State Drive PCIe or eSATA?
A: The SSD is a PM951 with est 1000mb/sec read and 700mb/sec write. It's roughly two to three times faster than traditional SATA SSD's. There is in fact an M.2 pci-e port in this laptop that can support the new SM951 SSD which is blazing by offering performance of over 2000mb/sec read and 1550mb/sec write! Swap the current SSD out for this and get nearly 5 times the performance of traditional SSD's. Incredible laptop.
Q: 1TB SSD
