What is the screen resolution? Does it really have great battery life?

Hi, Resolution is 1600x900. Frankly for 15 inch and the power this laptop has, this is enough. More pixels and 3D apps will probably lag. Battery is about 4-5 hours in web surfing. Given the fact that to preserve the battery cycles it charges it to 80% (this can be disabled to charge to 100%). In full battery will relatively low brightness you can get 5-6 hours web surfing or working (mostly 5). Gaming about 2 hours, 2.5.

This is probably the best and fastest laptop I have ever owned.I have added a larger SSD recently. The only negative is the keyboard mouse. I use a Bluetooth.Battery and screen are great.

You will need to adjust resolution yourself.. first appears washed out.. batter life OK.. main issue is the 80.. yup 80... gbs of hard drive. May as well get an ipod.

The screen resolution is great. A full battery usually last me around 8 hours.

Screen res is good but the hinges were too tight and cracked the screen from the edges and Samsung would not stand behind it. I would have understood if the laptop was used alot but very infrequently and for that price point when new it was unacceptable.As for battery life that is where it really shines lasts days so when it was opened it worked.I have since moved on to Lenovo yoga and it is a superior machine in all aspects.

Hi Gregory,I have had mine for several months now and have absolutely no issues with it. Battery life might not be as good as some would like (4 - 6 hours, depending upon specific use), but mine stays mostly plugged in, so it is really a non-issue for me. I use mine for work, have produced a few videos with it just to compare it with my desktop system, and use it in conjunction with Chromecast to watch high definition movies on my large screen TV. The 17" display on the laptop is very good at watching high definition movies from short distances. There may be better units out there, but I am not disappointed at all with this one.

If you are asking about battery life it is very good - a couple of days in standby and several hours of talk time.

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.

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 get extended performance as well, due primarily to the LED screen and solid-state hard drive, both of which require less from the battery than conventional LCD screens and regular hard drives. Power consumption will increase with peripherals (external hard drive), increasing the screen brightness, not using energy saving methods (like turning the screen down/off after a period of inactivity).

Youtube and Netflix work fine, in fact, the screen is GREAT for Netflix. I don't use tontonI'd say the battery lasts a full day with moderate use. The screen is normally not extremely bright so I tend to keep the brightness up. After a few weeks, the battery started to only make it on 6-8 hours with moderate use. If you get a good battery saver/task manager app and you're relatively tech savvy you can get quite a lot more mileage out of it. It's a great little media player but I needed a tablet for work, unfortunately

I've found the battery life to be above average. I had a Lenovo idea pad and it was shorter than the nexus.Charging is very good.

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

Battery life is pretty good. You can watch a full length movie on a full battery and still have power left in it..I would read some other reviews also..remember it is a 17inch LED and has beefy fans etc. So there are a few things going on..generally really quiet conversely.

I bought this laptop 2 months ago from Amazon and I can't say I have any complain so far. Screen resolution is perfect as well as other features. I will recommend it any time. Go for it!

The screen and video are comparable to most any other tablet on the market. Images are crisp and clear. Playback is adequate. I hope this helps.

I haven't been unhappy with the battery life. Perhaps normal usage depends on the person. I play games, watch a couple movies, once in a while check things out online. I charge mine up about once a week just to keep it ready, but I do not use it every day. For the wi-fi, I have to be home, so I download games or movies to watch when away.

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

Mine is an XPS15 / 9530, CPU is an I7-4702HQ running at 2.20GHz, 500GB SSD, 16GB DDR3. Native display resolution is 3200x1800 -- absolutely gorgeous. The vast majority of the apps I use are fully supported in this resolution and look great. So far, only the Foxit PDF suite doesn't "know" how to scale properly. Movies look great, the laptop boots in seconds, is extremely fast -- beautiful form factor. I've had this for several months, use many hours every day, and take it on planes twice a week. Very happy with the choice -- best machine I've owned.
