What is the battery life of this laptop (Core i7, 8GB RAM, 1TB)?

I bought one of these here in March, and although I try to keep it plugged to mantain the battery between 40% and 80%, I have used it for 6+ hours for web browsing, some YouTubbing, some Google SketchUp and watching a 80 minute movie (there was a severe blackout that time), from less than full charge down to about 15%.

I haven't really counted an exact time but I'll say this:There was a two week period where I had it charged up, I went two weeks without charging again with 2-3 hours a week sitting basically idle in class and several hours of Netflix twice a week. It's plenty of battery from a full charge, especially compared to the stock one. It is absolutely adequate and well worth the money, you won't regret this one.I should add that I am on an HP Pavilion G6-1b60us with an AMD A4 and replacing the factory HDD with a Samsung 840 Evo SSD (so reduced power consumption over the stock HDD there, I'm sure, but not sure by how much) I haven't really counted an exact time but I'll say this:There was a two week period where I had it charged up, I went two weeks without charging again with 2-3 hours a week sitting basically idle in class and several hours of Netflix twice a week.

I haven't tried to run it all the way down since the laptop is usually stationery except if I move around the house with it but I know will last at least 35-40 minutes and not still had around half battery according the battery meter on the taskbar. This is the 2nd battery I have purchased. The 1st one was for a laptop for my mom a while ago and it's still working but again that laptop is not used that much off house power. For $20 bucks I'm satisfied

Lenovo rates it up to 6 hours (idle, dimmed screen, etc). Real world usage is probably around 4-4.5 hours.

It's Intel Core i5-3317U CPU 1.7 GHz. It's really Fast and Sleek compare to MacBook Pro. A lot of complements for this laptop because of luxury black aluminium, thin and light :)

The battery usually last me about 3-5 hours depending on if I'm streaming video, gaming or just doing homework. The battery is removable and I'm pretty sure you can order a better battery from Dell if you need to. Not sure about the in-home repair though. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the laptop

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.

Is around 8 hours of usage with the display at 40% ... but in stand by the power consumption is very low. I can tell you... I put one SSD samsung pro 840 and 8 gb of RAM crucial... the performance improved significanly I can run Adobe Photoshop CS5.... SPSS... everything goes much more smootly.

This is a hybrid drive system SDD+Mechanical 500GB, Battery life is about 4-4.5hrs max real time. If u r watching movies and play games, 2-2.5hrs only. Run it for 4 months already. Hope this information helps...

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
