How long does the battery last with intense usage ?

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

I've never had mine die on me but I've taken it for a six hour trip and it had about 25% battery power afterwards so I'd guess maybe about eight hours in total.

The battery will last for 10 hours, but only when kept at a moderate volume. If you crank the volume up near max, the battery will last about 5 hours.

the battery last close to a month. depending on the frequency of usage it may last longer or lesser than that.

I guess it depends on what you classify as "extreme" use. If you have wifi on, GPS on, are concurrently downloading videos while surfing the web, I'd say 9 hours is probably about right. Try it with the OEM battery and see what your battery life is with the same conditions. My guess it is 4 or 5 hours.

Mine goes about 3 hours continuous use. It actually lasts longer than I expected!

For my use, the charge has lasted a couple of months without any sign of quitting. My guess is that how often it is used will determine battery life.... And I'd say it only uses power when pushed.

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.

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.

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

Not long. 20-30 minutes max. Mine came with an extra battery, which makes it use able. You always have to have a spare charged. Other than battery life, it works great.

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%.

Where did you hear that? Of course not. I use mine daily and it usually lasts for 2-3 days based on my reading, web surfing and emailing activity. I let the battery completely run down after I first charged it and it lasted almost 11 hours. On average I get at least 10 hours of active use on it, but I usually charge it every three days.

Battery life is fair. It depends on usage. 3-4 hours can be used when it fuly charged.
