15' MBPr and changing refresh rate

[Petulka]

I plan to get Haswell one and I was wondering if you could change from 60Hz to 40/30Hz and get more battery? My current HP laptot runs standartly at 40Hz and there's like 30 min battery from 40-60.

I was asking what is the refresh rate, now I'm asking if you can change it.

OSX doesn't have any way for you as the user to change the refresh rate. It is, what it is.

I don't think you'll increase the battery life so much that it would be worth it, but that's just my opinion
