What's the battery life like when gaming and normal use?

I usually get about 2 hours or less of intensive gaming out of it (Crysis 3 or heavily modded Skyrim on ultra settings, for example). With just web browsing or simple applications I get about 5 hours of continuous use. I can run one charge an entire day as a student by simply making it sleep when I'm not using it. The wake up time is only a couple seconds, but it only takes 5 seconds to boot up anyway so I usually just shut it down if I won't use it for a couple hours.

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

I bought the mouse back in November and haven't changed the battery yet. I use it probably an average of 3-4 hours a day.

It´s no more than 4.5 hrs. I looked at the customers reviews before I buy it so I knew the battery life had not the best average. But I´m still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

I get extremely good battery life, I believe the biggest power draw to be the HDD (which I replaced with a Samsung 840 Evo), so that may be why I get better than most. I also use the sleep function A LOT! But, this is my school and travel computer and I use it about 2-3 hours a day and only plugin every other day.

That entirely depends on what you are doing. I've had a 45 minute life when I was really pushing the system (World Of Warcraft), I've also had 2 and a half hours when doing things like checking email or just browsing the web at starbucks.

I have mine set to power - saving mode and I can get three and half days of normal use. An average of 5hrs a daily.

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.

I would wager that I use this tablet as heavily as anyone would. I take handwritten notes on it in every class. 4-5 hours of continuous use a day, and I get 2 days on a full charge. That being said, I turn the brightness down which helps a lot with battery consumption. When playing a graphics intensive game on full brightness, which you should do at least once just to see the screen (it's beautiful), I get around 3-4 hours of non stop use on a full charge. Hope this helps. Overall this is an amazing tablet and I am thrilled with my experience.

If you are running it on gaming mode, it won't last an hour--even if you aren't actually gaming. It has gone 2 hours unplugged for me in balanced mode.

It will depend of how you are using it, for normal use like internet browsing it last up to 6 hours, but for gaming or video I could experience 4 hours at full brightness. Overall the battery life it's very very good

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! ;)

I don't know the exact specs but I can tell you that it lasts about 2hr of medium to low league of legends, 4 hours of HD Netflix and negligible decrease over two days, one night of sleep mode. I wouldn't suggest gaming on the thing I only did because my friend begged me to

Depends on the battery. I use Energizers and I've gotten over 16 hours of gameplay on TF2 and Orcs Must Die 2.

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

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