what is battery life for this computer?

I'm a highschool student and I like to bring my laptop to school to take notes on sometimes and pull op google or notes from my teachers website, so through one school day (8 hours) I'd drive through about 60% of the battery, using the laptop as a resource maybe once or twice for maybe 30 minutes at a time. I don't normally turn off my computer either.

Honestly, not great. But keep in mind that its a core i3. Its got a two cell battery and gives about 3 to 4 hours of life which is more than my old acer netbook running a single core atom ever gave with a 3 cell battery.

Very short. I haven't timed it but I don't think I've gotten more than 3 hours standby. I don't travel without the charger.

Its a good 3.5 to 4 hrs but leave mine charging with AC power most of time. I would recommend upgrading the memory to max amount for performance.

normal use being reading and sending e-mails, plus working with word documents, Evernote and browsing? the battery life is around 9 to 10 hours. if however you watch videos and play games, the battery life is around 3 to 4 hours.

I have never really left it on long enough for the battery to die. I do take the computer to work each day. It is left on from 6 am with the lid closed, I use it for an hour or two at work during nap time. I turn it on at home and use if for half an hour before plugging it in.

I actually don't know w/o doing some research. This one provides about 2 hours of battery life for an older HP laptop. The laptop is on travel right now so cannot verify the model number.

Two factors are to consider in answering this. One is the use to which the Samsung Laptop will be used. If it sits idle, or is used for reading/surfing around the web, battery might last 4-5 hours. If it plays a game on battery it might last an hour. The second factor is in regard to the power-saving settings. Is the backlight turned off or left on, or is the laptop set at high-performance?I hope this proves helpful.MParsons

On "Battery Saver" power settings with brightness of the screen turned down, for web browsing and word processing my battery runs to around 10% at about 6 hours or so. In the description on Amazon it advertises 6.5 hours of battery life. I'd say that is about correct.

I did not use the Lenovo as a portable device that often. My answer on battery life is that it is AVERAGE. Lenovo maintains "up to 5 hours" (Lithium, 4-cell, 32Wh) in their official specs, but I would mark that down to 4-4.5 hrs. (the battery is only 4-cell). I sold this unit only because the keys were too stiff for my MS riddled hands and switched to a noisy HP ENVY with soft keys. All in all, (for the rest of you) it is a GREAT machine!!! Thanks for your inquiry.

This is not right.The battery for this computer most can used about 5 to 6 hours.Your battery is bad and need to be replaced or return the computer.

Depends on the laptop. But, if you start with a full laptop battery and then use this thing as well, I would expect a MINIMUM of 3 additional hours of use. Realistically more like 5-8 additional hours. If your laptop is older or the processor doesn't use a great deal of energy, then you might get obscenely long usage.

at least 2 hours. maybe even 3. Its been a year now and I still have 2 hours remaining in my battery and I'm a student. So i've been using my laptop extensibly.

Casual use (Intel graphics, brightness at like 50 or 60) about 8 hours. Battery life with gaming (Full brightness, Nvidia card) about 2 and a half.

I'm not sure. I keep it plugged in. Sorry I can't be much help regarding the battery life.

For normal use the laptop gives you 2 hours and half, and for extreme use just like an hour, now for the battery life I think is larger than 2 year, since I bought this laptop in september of 2012 and the battery died at november 2014, but I have been using it in very extreme conditions for like 16 hours a day every day since I bought it, playing video games, editing videos, hydrological modelling, running virtual machines and it never defraud me.

I don't remember, but I've had it about 3 months and use it every day. No problems. It is good for basic computer needs. Email, facebook, youtube, surfing the web. Also very portable and good battery life.
