well..that's kind of the point i'm trying to get across....bump the performance to advertised specs and you'll have horrible life that might not last for the duration of the class.
On the other hand, leave the laptop running at reduced performance mode to extend battery life.
In other words, be prepared to make sacrifices when using a laptop for CAD work....and laptop performance specs is only half the story.
