Can anyone give me an idea of the actual battery life they experienced?

Without much hard drive activity...around 2 hours. With activity, maybe 1 hour 20 mins.

How many hours did you get with the original battery with same type of usage?I got more than two days with light usage.

I can't say that I've check on the battery life. It seems to last pretty long. I will check this week and try to repost.

I haven't timed it exactly either. But I can get through 3-4 movies (balanced settings) and still have half battery life. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure but it was pretty lousy anyway. Less (much) than 1 hr battery life; was an improvement on the 10 minutes I had with original battery...but not much. Just about enough juice to close everything down w/o losing work during power outages.

Mine has been going over 6 months, still over 90% battery life, used daily.

I had the thing on a medium volume on Saturday, and it wasn't even on a full charge and it was still going when i brought the speaker inside 7-8 hours later. I use it all the time and have yet to use it for enough time for the battery to run out. Amazing battery life.

Depends very much on what you are running. Using WIFI and doing typical work activities such as email, web browsing, word, etc., I have seen over 9 hours. If you're watching a movie streamed via 4GLTE the battery life does suffer. I have not timed it, but 6 hours seems pretty close under those contitions.

I just used mine for 6 straight hours, and 2 hours the day before, still going strong. I would estimate 10 hours full charge to dead.

For me it's about an hour, maybe a little longer on gaming mode. About 2hr and 15 min on balanced mode, just depends on what you are running, brightness etc. It has never died on me when I needed it though.

I've had mine about a year, my husband has had his for just a month or two. I watch some videos but mostly read books or look at bbc news or pinterest so brightness is up about halfway most of the time. I think it lasy fully charged for about two or three hours using it nonstop. Longer if im reading books already downloaded (like on the plane) chrged in about a 45min or so if its turned off, little slower in airplane mode. Note the brightness and things like gps location and wifi searching constantly use power in the background just like your phone! Turn off everything your not using :)

I cant be specific about the battery life but I can say satisfactory, at least. It was ready when i needed it most.

Mine lasts about 7~8 hours for regular use when I use the Quite Office Setting.I know it's still better than any other laptops as to battery life.

I left mine plugged in for 12 hours and then even checked it on the website for the battery life % which never went higher than 99%.

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

Fully charged it now says 4 hours and 5 minutes. Actual time depends on what I am using the computer for. Overall, I am pleased with the battery life.

I've had mine for a few months now and ive let it go from full charge to dead a couplde times to keep the battery maintained. I'd say an estimate of 7-8 hours on standby i.e. on but no real processes. Maybe longer than that. I do know that under stressful procedures i.e. multiple processes running such as a gaming client, chat system, word processor, internet, spotify etc it goes from full battery to no battery in 3 hours or less. This is just based on what I've had. Take it with a grain of salt I guess.
