I like to know about the battery life. 4 cell or 6cell battery? How long does it last for gaming and how long for normal browsing?

It lasts less than 3 hours when unplugged and doing just some browsing and watching videos online. Gaming will probably give you like 2 hours of battery life. It's important to know that the Nvidia graphics card is only used when the laptop is plugged in. While on battery, it only uses the integrated Intel graphics chip, so gaming probably won't be the same.

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.

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.

The battery life is very good. I was surprised that I can sit at my kitchen table for 3 hours and the battery goes down to about 65%. Now that is very good for this laptop. I think you will enjoy the power that this puts out. Have a great time with it.

Well, unfortunately I'm not an avid gamer so I am not on it that often, but I have found that if you have it in sleep mode it does a very good job of retaining power. If I were to estimate, if you played it as much as the average owner, I would say you could get a guaranteed couple days out of it...I might even venture and say three days. Again thats just a guess.You might wanna poke around online and google some sites that will give you some good insight on the battery life. Hope I was able to help at least a little. Have fun and keep gaming! ;)

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.

Overall the battery life is good. For a heavy user like me it lasts for 2.5 to 3.5hrs. its good. the only drawback is it has a inbuilt battery. which means its not user replaceable.

I like to use the brightness at full and with the Wi-Fi on, if I browse, email, etc, I think it lasts me around 3-4 hours. The battery life isn't too impressive on this laptop..

I play runescape and other games on it for 10 to 12 hours a day. If your going to play anything higher end I would suggest if you got it to put more ram in then 6gb otherwise I havent had too many issues with games. I do facebook, sims3, runescape, tera online, and a few other mmorpg games.

For casual use including surfing, youtube, and writing, the battery lasts for upwards of 6-7 hoursFor hardcore gaming...likely an hour or lessvideos are somewhere inbetween... around 5-6 hours

Using it for class, I get 4-5 hours. (screen brightness down, speakers off ect. just taking notes) Using it for random stuff (flash games reddit ect.) 3.5-4, Gaming lasts for an unexpectedly long time depending on the game of course

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

Im not sure what the battery life is supposed to be, but mine lasted easily 2 months on a single charge with an average of 1-2 hrs of use every day. They provide you with a charging cable for it, which you can charge from a usb port on your comp. The only annoying part is having it die when you're in the middle of using it, as the cable is not very long (1-2 feet, or something) and it makes it awkward to hold. But if you remember to charge it once a month or so, depending on how much you use it, you shouldn't run into that problem. As for replacements if the pen shits the bed altogether, it looks like they're sold for 10-15 USD Im not sure what the battery life is supposed to be, but mine lasted easily 2 months on a single charge with an average of 1-2 hrs of use every day.

Hi. I would say about 5 hours. I do not play games and am not a heavy user, but I do stay online for long periods of time. ALso, when you do charge it up, it charges surprisingly quickly.

its great 4 me! Just make sure u turn it off by hand and dont leave it on standby. I did that once and it died. I've charged it a few times. I use it @ work only and my battery life was only 1 bar down after 7 hrs. All i do is listen to music i dont know if it drains faster doing other things. Hope this helps.
