Actually Im quite pleased on how the game runs, with the way laptop cards are I feared the worst. My only real concern is my power source . I of course play the game while ac is plugged in but at any rate after say hour and a half of game play my battery drops 25 percent. Do any of you have any suggestions in what may remedy this. Any help would be appreciated

So even with your adapter pluged in it still drains battery power? Weird.

You could try a stronger adapter, but theres the chance it might fry something with too much power surging into the system.

That sounds like a problem with the laptop or the AC adapter. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

Appreciate the input, was wondering what the deal was, was wondering why with power plugged in stilll losing power off my battery, I would assume it is the ac cord, I left my original cord in hotel and had to shell 90 dollars for this universal one and wasnt real happy with it from the start. Now Im even more displeased, have to look into getting the proper cord. Guess I should of thought of this in the first place, Doh!. Thanks again.
