What is included with this computer? Does the battery hold a charge? If so, for how long if the performance has deteriorated?

From what I can tell, once the battery starts to go it will not hold a charge but the computer will still work with a power cord. It does seem you can still get OEM replacement batteries for it, though.

I really think the battery is ok, i have bought two of this laptop and if you are using it continuosly the battery life is approx 10hrs.

mauri88, I don't use this computer so I can't give you an exact statement on battery life. However, I bought my daughter this 14" screen HP Envy with 8 gigs of ram. Upon receiving it I immediately removed the factory hard drive and installed a Toshiba 512 Gig SSD. My daughter uses her HP Envy for hours on the battery. I have never heard her complain about her Envy battery's charge running out. She really likes her 14" screen HP Envy.

I actually had to return this computer as the battery wouldn't hold a charge. Sorry I can't help with your question.

It does have an internal battery, but I wouldn't express an opinion as to its portability as I use it as a desktop... and haven't tested battery life or functionality.

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

There was a battery charger included with my laptop. I did have to ask for a new battery not long after my purchase because it stopped holding a charge.

The computer includes the power cord and battery. The working condition is excellent however there are some surface abrasions on the front-the do not in any way affect the way the computer works. My unit was pre-loaded with Malwarebytes anti-malware software, Windows 7 Professional, McAfee Security Scan Plus, CC-Cleaner, etc. I am very happy with this computer.

I'm sorry I can't help you, I don't know much about computers. I have an Acer notepad. When the battery would no longer hold a charge, I took it out to find the make and model number and ordered exactly what I had.

I don't know about the RAM, but I do not see a battery, suggesting it is built in. The computer is great except that the DVD drive on 2 that I have had (one had to go in for repair 1 day after I received it) had a totally non-functioning drive. It would not open except with the use of a paper clip inserted in the slot. And then the drive would not recognize a disk. Got a replacement computer, and the drive is marginally functional - won't stay shut unless a disk is in there. The rest of the computer is perfect (so far), and I rarely use the DVD drive, but you might want to think about that potential problem.

I haven't unplugged it long enough to give an honest answer but it initially appeared to hold a decent charge. My computer is at least 4 years old though.

It has been a while - I bought mine "refurbished" and it crashed after about a year of using DAILY - 6-7 HOURS at a time. I was downloading music and games, so I am pretty sure it did. I feel i got my money's worth - was about $140. It was my "spare" for travel. I have had a ACER Aspire 5315-2326 since about 2006 ($500 then at WalMart, Reno, CA) and it is still going strong. Have needed only a new battery in 7 years.

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

Ha...I guess the one down side...I get about two hours on max performance. I have been thinking about getting a better battery for the laptop (4 hour type or more). However, I need to add my purchase was more for a portable desktop than a mobile computer (tablet, etc...) so it stays plugged in about 85% of the time.

That's a good question. I don't see the battery life mentioned in the literature, but I don't think it has 10 hours of battery life. I'm prompted for a power source after a couple of hours. I have to say though, that I love this computer and highly recommend it. My husband is a software engineer. He chose the computer based on its specs out of a number of other options. He was so right. It's a powerful computer.
