What's the battery life?

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.

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.

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.

About 2 hours with activity, stand by is several hours. But after a few weeks of use, battery life goes under 1 hour. I plugged it in for 3 hours, and only 1/3 of it was charged. Really awful battery life.

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 still average about 2-3 hours on mine. I've had in the neighborhood of 15 months. Been a great battery.

Battery life is about three hours on constantly . I know this because I used it this long while recently tracking a deer in the rain

My battery life lasts quite a while. I was watching a live stream video and it lasted 4 - 6 hours. On a regular basis, just checking email, surfing the net, etc I only have to charge every two or three days.

All I can say is that the battery life exceeds 1 hour of run time and without slowing down. I've never run it it beyond 1 hour nor has it gone dead. I'm very happy with it. Recharge time seem quick enough but I've not timed it.

battery life is good (Haven't done an exact measurement, but it seems like I recharge about every 3 or 4 days). It has an automatic sleep function that preserves the battery life. Full charge in about 2 hours.

I'm not totally certain about the battery life. I left mine on using it here and there through the day and it well into the evening before I had to plug it in again. I also know that I left in sleep mode for over a week and it still had about 70% battery left it. It impressed me how long it would hold its battery power

I have been disappointed in the battery life. I was at a convention, started taking photos (no flash) alternating with some video. Battery was dead by afternoon, and that was NOT non-stop photo shooting by any means. If I had to guess, I would estimate 20 short videos and about 275 photos. I didn't have a spare and no way to charge, and missed the rest of the day. Buy a backup, definitely!

Unfortunately, I bought it for my son who left for college. I have no first hand experience on the battery life.

I can't say I have ever measured the battery life but we are happy with it. As long as it was plugged in overnight, it usually makes it through the day, because we set it to suspend after 15 minutes of idle time and we rarely use it for more than 30 min straight. If I ever take it with me to work somewhere for an extended period, I just take the cord with me, it is pretty light.
