What is the typical battery life?

When playing games about 2 hours of battery life. Doing Microsoft office or other things about 4 hrs

Battery life is great! I get about 3+ hours of basic use (browsing, etc) and about 1.75-2 hours using photoshop, light gaming, etc. if you manually specify most programs to use the intel graphics it lasts quite a while more than the nvidia graphics, but you'll always trade power for speed. Overall it's a great setup and I've thoroughly enjoyed mine for both work (photographer) and play (gamer).

Depends what you're doing. Just browsing the internet and watching videos while at a balanced setting, you're good for about 5-6 hours. If you're doing something that requires significantly more power output, you're lookin' at about less than two hours. Also, it heats up very hot, very fast.

I tend to keep mine on power save, it seems to last pretty well. I'm not sure and exact answer on a number but several hours.

Hi.I have owned this laptop for a couple of months now and it is amazing. The average battery life I am getting while running wifi and having the brightness about 3/4 bright, I am getting 5 1/2 hours. With wifi off running regular programs like Word, Excel and Powerpoint, I am getting about 6-6/12 hours. Amazing battery life

About 4 hours per use. My last battery lasted about 3 years before I had to replace it.

I cannot tell you precisely, but I can say that we haven't noted battery life as a problem. (And it has a battery life indicator, which is a plus).

In standbys or light use such as occasionally checking emails and answering phone calls the charge last me all day (14hrs). I get that with the original battery also. It is important to note that it took about 3 charging cycles to get this performance. Out of the box after original charge I only got 8 hrs, but in my case performance improved after more use. Heavy use gets me about 6-8 hrs depending on what I am doing.

don't really know. I have an average size battery, fish for 2-3 hours, have never run down the battery.

I would say I get a good 10-15 hours of runtime on a single charge, and standby time is also pretty good, charges up pretty fast also!

3 hours if you are using the maximum performance option, about 5-6 if you are on battery saver. :)

I get less than 2 hours of use on a full charge (mainly using for internet browsing, email, and playing mp3). The battery also drains when it's not on. I have the 16 GB linux version with advanced desktop enabled. This seems to be common. I think most manufacturers exaggerate battery life a lot, if it's not a flat-out lie. So 2 hours or less of use unplugged with this device is probably the norm, if the manufacturer is saying 3 to 4 hours. My experience with most rechargeable mobile devices is that normal real world use will not get anywhere near what manufacturers state for battery life.

Sorry took so long to answer...battery life is maybe three days- I have to charge up every other day to make sure it doesn't die on me.

4 hours with 100% with a few programs running, battery life decrease about 50% when my design software its running, but thats normal considering I work with super heavy software tools on a daily basis, I recomend always work near a power source.

I may not be the best test case for this but I can say it lasted me the entire week on vacation and had 20% of the battery life left after 7 days. I probably used it much less than the average user so I am sure your results will vary depending on usage. I would guess it would last at least the entire day under normal use.

The battery life is about what you would expect from any other laptop. That is unless you purchase and extended life battery.

Battery life is pretty sufficient... Usually three hours of constant use before requiring charging.

Unsure but battery life is generally about 3 hours before having to plug in once again.

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