What is the battery life of the laptop?

I've personally had mine for a couple years now. But where I'm at with it, I can get about an hour, give or take, with heavy usage (i.e. watching HD videos online, etc.).

For normal use the laptop gives you 2 hours and half, and for extreme use just like an hour, now for the battery life I think is larger than 2 year, since I bought this laptop in september of 2012 and the battery died at november 2014, but I have been using it in very extreme conditions for like 16 hours a day every day since I bought it, playing video games, editing videos, hydrological modelling, running virtual machines and it never defraud me.

Many factors affect battery life. I can usually get 4-5 hours out of it if I am not doing a lot of surfing and I dim my screen as I notice the battery getting low.

Two factors are to consider in answering this. One is the use to which the Samsung Laptop will be used. If it sits idle, or is used for reading/surfing around the web, battery might last 4-5 hours. If it plays a game on battery it might last an hour. The second factor is in regard to the power-saving settings. Is the backlight turned off or left on, or is the laptop set at high-performance?I hope this proves helpful.MParsons

No to both questions. The battery is internal, and the screen does not support touch. When unplugged, for basic browsing and office functions I get about 3-4 hours before I need to plug it in again. Also, I'm not a fan of touch screens, which is why I went with this laptop, I have it running windows 7 which I had to purchase.

Sorry, I don't really know. I rarely use the battery, except for recently. I took my laptop to a meeting and it lasted 2 hours on an almost full charge. However, the battery was quite drained by that time.

I have the same laptop, and have been using the battery for about three weeks. So far, so good. The battery life is definitely lower than the original battery, but I didn't keep in-depth stats on the original, so it's hard to gauge. I get about 1.5 hours of life out of this battery when watching movies.

I got it mid summer 2014 It had 10 hrs of battery. Since I'm an engineering student I never turn off my laptop and I'm always pushing it to its limits. It's lasted without any problems and still has 10 hrs(w/o internet of course). With internet it has about 8hrs. It's lasted 3/4 of the year with no decrease in performace

Sorry, I've never really timed it. I know it is at least 4 hours, and maybe it is more. But the last computer I used had had a bad battery for so many years, that I had almost forgotten I could ever use a computer that was not plugged in. Not that it matters, but I purposely ordered this computer with Windows 7 because I did not want to use Windows 8 on a computer that was not touch screen. I have had the computer for about a month and haven't had any problems so far, unlike the person who wrote the previous comment.

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 battery life is very good. I was surprised that I can sit at my kitchen table for 3 hours and the battery goes down to about 65%. Now that is very good for this laptop. I think you will enjoy the power that this puts out. Have a great time with it.

Its 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 Im still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

The battery life is about 3-4 hours for normal business work, 2-3 hours for movies and music, and 1-2 hours for gaming. And no it does not have touch screen. It's medium-high performance laptop it wouldn't have touchscreen..

I really think the battery is ok, i have bought two of this laptop and if you are using it continuosly the battery life is approx 10hrs.

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.

Honestly, not great. But keep in mind that its a core i3. Its got a two cell battery and gives about 3 to 4 hours of life which is more than my old acer netbook running a single core atom ever gave with a 3 cell battery.
