I need to know if Asus G501 will be released with Intel Skylake Processor with Intel Iris pro graphics and DDR4L SDRAM? I also want to know how much battery life will I get with Asus G501 laptop and will it be same like Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

Although battery life is likely to be good for a gaming laptop, with a 96WHrs battery - that's almost double the capacity of the MSI GS60

That is true but can't event get close to the Mac Book Pro.

But the GPU on a MacBook Pro is pathetic compared to this - a 750M at best

I'm guessing it's for a supplied network dongle, not that I'd ever use one
