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

The brightness of the screen and activity of the wifi make a big difference. If you have the screen on high and watching youtube it is going to last about 3.5 hours. With the screen brightness low and just messing around reading newspapers online it will last up to 6 hours.

I have actually tested the battery life at maximum use. From fully charged, I had the screen at 100% brightness, and going online, I was watching videos. My battery lasted a little bit more than 4 1/2 hours before it went to 0%.

I would like to know if you can buy a replacment battery that has 4 hrs. run time.The computer sounds great except for the 2 hr. 25 min. battery time.Why such a good comp. with such a whimppy battery?

Have had ours since September and have had no issues; daily use of 4 to 6 hours. Just keep in mind computers are like cars, every batch can have a lemon.

mauri88, I don't use this computer so I can't give you an exact statement on battery life. However, I bought my daughter this 14" screen HP Envy with 8 gigs of ram. Upon receiving it I immediately removed the factory hard drive and installed a Toshiba 512 Gig SSD. My daughter uses her HP Envy for hours on the battery. I have never heard her complain about her Envy battery's charge running out. She really likes her 14" screen HP Envy.

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! ;)

It´s no more than 4.5 hrs. I looked at the customers reviews before I buy it so I knew the battery life had not the best average. But I´m still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

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.

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

Mine died after a week. I returned it and got an Asus tablet instead. Glad I did. I love my Asus!

I would wager that I use this tablet as heavily as anyone would. I take handwritten notes on it in every class. 4-5 hours of continuous use a day, and I get 2 days on a full charge. That being said, I turn the brightness down which helps a lot with battery consumption. When playing a graphics intensive game on full brightness, which you should do at least once just to see the screen (it's beautiful), I get around 3-4 hours of non stop use on a full charge. Hope this helps. Overall this is an amazing tablet and I am thrilled with my experience.

I'm waiting for the release of the 6 cell version. I don't want to have a small, take anywhere laptop that needs a plug to work after two hours of use. There are other, similar subnotebooks coming out soon too. The Acer one, Dell (whatever, don't know if it has a name), the new ASUS 901 and 1000 series, and, very likely, there will be more. Buying one now is great if you can find one, and I would like to, but I don't want to feel buyer's remorse in a short period of time.

Battery life is great! I get about 3+ hours of basic use (browsing, etc) and about 1.75-2 hours using photoshop, light gaming, etc. if you manually specify most programs to use the intel graphics it lasts quite a while more than the nvidia graphics, but you'll always trade power for speed. Overall it's a great setup and I've thoroughly enjoyed mine for both work (photographer) and play (gamer).

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..

Casual use (Intel graphics, brightness at like 50 or 60) about 8 hours. Battery life with gaming (Full brightness, Nvidia card) about 2 and a half.

The HP 4530s battery has been very dependable. I've had the laptop for roughly 2 years and I still get a least 3 hrs. of use on the battery. Obviously how you have it set up - "Power Saver" mode versus "Optimized", screen brightness, when to turn off display and when it goes into sleep all make an impact (as well as what programs/software you're using). It has always met my needs better then other laptops I have previously owned. I hope this answers your question. You should not be disappointed.

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww
