Battery 15 h What reviewers say Reviewers praise the slim, well-built aluminium chassis, the vivid OLED screen, strong gaming performance and much longer battery life than earlier Blades. All three found it very expensive; Tom's Guide found it runs hot and loud under heavy load, Tom's Hardware saw multi-core performance trail rivals, and Notebookcheck found the webcam still weak.
