What's the battery life and how hot can it get?

The battery life for surfing the Web and writing documents is about 4 hours. If you only write document, surf the Web and check Facebook it would not get hot but if gaming is your main purpose yes it will get really hot when you stop playing because the fans stop whenever you stop so the remaing heat is about 70 Celsius playing at high settings and high frames per second

The battery gets about 3 hours of heavy use, but that varies on screen brightness and if you use the LEDs. As for the heat with very long usage and bottom vents covered it gets hot enough you don't want it on your lap. However I bought a cooler master laptop fan and it sovled the problem

Probably not, it may get hot and I am dissapointed how long yhe battery lasts especially on the two highest settings

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

I use it at school. Fully charged, it can last me 5-6 hours or so, depending on if I shut it down, or just let it sleep

The battery only works from close range, I am not sure how hot it is suppose to get but over time that will stop doing that. But over all the cameras a hunk of junk.

No clue. If you're getting one keep and eye on the battery and temp of the phone. It gets awfully hot very fast

I've only had it for 5 weeks, so I don't know the battery life yet. It is working quite well.

Very hot for an hour, probably drinkable hot for 2 hours. I've had mine since July 2010. I still use it daily.

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! ;)

To be honest I haven't let it go to that point. It seems to run alittle warm. But to be fair this is my first MAC. So I don't know what to expect. I am learning as I go. A friend help me find the battery so I went with his opinion

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.

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've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

Battery life good - The laptop does not get as warm as my old Toshiba. I'm satisfied with those two points.
