    320 is nice... disable that nvidia 940mx and battery lasts longer

    Out of the box with the optimus drivers installed, the 940 mx should be off for most tasks naman ata.

    Also what I like about the Lenovos is yung battery conservation... Keeps the battery from staying at 100% if you're plugging it in the whole time anyway.

    Some dells have this feature din ata. Not sure which other manufacturer does.

    Newer Lenovos I've seen only have the option to either use hybrid (integrated+discrete) or discrete only.

    I'd rather a thinkpad for durability pero way out of budget haha

    Yeah I set my ThinkPad at 50% charge. An old x220. I've added an ssd and usb3 expresscard. It just wouldnt die

    I've also seen the feature in a toshiba

    Portability is not an issue for me since I will just use it at home

    I'm generally impartial between ASUS and Lenovo, unless it's a thinkpad.... Will consider those if so.

    Our T40 still boots. But it's too slow for anything na and naka IDE pa so no SSD.
