What is the maximum battery life for this laptop? If I am just word processing with wifi

Hi Isaac, you could expect approximately 3.5 to 4 hours of life from the battery.

The battery life is about 2-3 hours for me with wi-fi on. I have played Minecraft on this and it gives a decent fps with little lag.

On "Battery Saver" power settings with brightness of the screen turned down, for web browsing and word processing my battery runs to around 10% at about 6 hours or so. In the description on Amazon it advertises 6.5 hours of battery life. I'd say that is about correct.

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

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..

Not sure what you're asking. The stock battery life is about 2 hours (less if Wifi is on). You'll get about that for HDMI playback. Be sure to get the right HDMI type cable (non-ethernet), as the camera tends to be a bit finicky about what it likes to connect to. I've found that it's often easier to use the USB connection instead, if the monitor provides that.

Ultimately up to you, but performance mode is by far the best user experience I've ever had with a laptop and power saving mode gets literally 4 hours of battery life while capable of multi-tasking programs that would normally kill a laptop's battery in 45 minutes. More memory than you can imagine, including 250GB of Solid State goodness. Very capable of a dual boot if necessary, and has zero cooling issues whatsoever - This laptop really doesn't get that warm because of the killer technology inside it. I'm definitely happy with it!

it depends on what you use, wifi + fb+ youtube 3hours , also if you watch a film 3 hours , but if you play a game than in 1.5 hours battery life will last, just tiping word document or oly use fb can last 5 hours and more, i think normal battery life

Mine lasted longer. It probably depends on what you were doing with the laptop. My daughter uses it all day at the hospital. Were you streaming video constantly (uses both network and drive storage)? That would drain your battery faster.

I bought the tablet for a friend as a gift and she seems to love it. I personally have a high end Toshiba tablet, and when I realy use it the battery only last 2 to 3 hours, so Im thinking for a tablet, 2 hours isn't that bad.

With a full charge, it lasts all day of word processing. Depending on what you do, it can last 6 or more hours online. It does all I need.

I owned one of these new from hp. my battery would last up to 4- 1/2 hours. But I followed the owners manual. And this is the best laptop that HP has made in a while. and If I had extra money I would buy myself another one.

The battery doesn't last as long as the specs say it will, but then again, that is the case with all computers. I use quite a bit of CPU throughout the day, so without charging I would say it lasts 4 to 5 hours. Given the amount of CPU I'm using, I'm very please with that. If you are just using Microsoft Word and maybe 2 tabs of whatever browser, I would imagine the battery lasts much longer than 4-5 hours.

i am not sure..i would guess at least 3 years...As for how long the battery would hold a charge:Depnds on how you use it...I had the wifi on and was playing a 3D game for 2 hours with full display brightness and after 2 hours i had 40% battery left...i got tired of playing so I am not sure how much longer it would last.....you could set the display brightness to 50% if you are just browsing the internet and it may last 3 hours with wifi on.....

The machine weighs (maybe) four pounds. Battery life is depended upon usage: streaming music eats up the battery life and it will last around four or five hours. Simply typing a manuscript doesn't require as much battery so it could last six hours or more.

Depends on what you're using it for. I get about three hours of use out of the battery. I modified it and bought a 120GB SSD drive and 4GB of RAM. Those upgrades made it super fast, and it does all the user basics with ease.
