to chugc reviwer--/best buy vs amzn: How long is the battery life?
1124548
Why don't u ask Amazon if 7 still comes with the package? The computer is supposed to come with instructions on what to do to get a copy of 7. I ordered this model yesterday and expect no problems. If the box doesn't have the info I'll contact Toshiba. I think its on their website but not sure. Don't u think people would be freaking out in the review if the 7 upgrade is not included? Best Buy- Go on their site and see for yourself. People don't get the facts straight many times. If you don't see the computer forget about it.

This is the battery I bought: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName;=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item;=320328527874It's a 7200 mAH. My experience with it's been pretty good, though I don't use it all the time. When I looked I had an estimated 7.5 hours with it, with wifi on and brightness down maybe half or so. I took awhile to arrive from the seller, about 3 or so weeks, but that's because it was coming from China so I expected it.

Good question. I bought this battery replacement because it was considerably cheaper. Unfortunately, I must report that you most often get what you pay for. This battery did NOT hold a charge for more than 1/2 of the day, and has been replaced with the $40 version. The $40 version gives me a day and a half - A great improvement! I should note that I'm a pretty heavy data user and I'm sure that affects battery life considerably. In short, this battery is ok as a spare in an emergency, but not so great as a primary for moderate to heavy usage.

Hi W.J.Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot.The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on.Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better. Hi W.J.Two thoughts here.

Don't write off the Zune yet. I've had Zen Micro Photos and one terrible characteristic is that the screen is unreadable outdoors. I'm not sure if this is true of the ZVM but some sites I've seen suggest it is. Here are the areas where the Zune beats the Zen: - more scratch resistent and resilient (Zune has a rubberized coating which helps protect it from scratches and drops) - bigger screen - if you do use it for videos the Zune display is the biggest and best - RDS support - if you use the radio you may get station and track ID info - seemingly slightly better battery life, thinner, and lighter (although a bit longer). The Zune is a bit rough around the edges, but it will only get better with new firmware. Microsoft started the project in January, so its still early days. There may be some innovative applications yet of the wifi, and there are rumors of games to come - the Zune has a pretty powerful CPU and does come from the XBox division. Pre-Zune I would say the ZVM was definitely the device to get but the Zune is definitely a contender.

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 think the battery life is superior on this Samsung. Heard the ASUS tablet battery was dismal. Hardware options look superior on the Samsung too.

My brother and I both got ours from MassMall and have been very happy with our purchases so far. Granted they aren't used other than when we're travelling, which admittedly is only a handful of days out of the year. My brother got one last year and it still works great. I still opt for my Nintendo wall charger when I have access to an outlet though.

I haven't had mine long enough to tell but anecdotal observations indicate that the batteries/unit seem to follow the "standard" Lithium discharge rate of 5-10% a month. Wikipedia and Google can lead you to more "in depth" analysis if you want......I find it helpful to just think of it as a big cell phone battery (can I leave my cell phone off for a month and turn it on etc). The key to storage is temperature (cooler is better then warm), you really start to digress into the more "in depth" stuff as soon as you ask the question :0 Sorry if that is not specific enough I tried to explain "it depends". Overall I have found the unit/device to be of high quality and am unsure as to what an $80 10400mah battery would offer over this one. There very well may be nuance's but for the average and above average user you won't be able to tell the difference.

I just bought this model yesterday (1/28) @ Bestbuy and the AC Wireless works well and does support both 2.4 / 5 ghz bands. I was connected at 240 mbps with only 3/5 bars signal strength and had no issues at all (unsure of what the difs are between the bestbuy version and the amazon product featured here)

It seems to me this does last a little longer than the stock one - about 5-10%. the stock battery in my T-Mo note is pretty good - one of the best stock/oem batts I've had. Generally the Note gets good batt life unless you're running jelly bean without fine-tuning

I've had this phone for about 90 days and have had no problems with it, I get at least 6 hours TALK TIME, and quality is fine (I'm AIO (AT&T;)). I would suggest doing the updates through Zune as so as you get it, because they made a marked improvement.

I get extremely good battery life, I believe the biggest power draw to be the HDD (which I replaced with a Samsung 840 Evo), so that may be why I get better than most. I also use the sleep function A LOT! But, this is my school and travel computer and I use it about 2-3 hours a day and only plugin every other day.

See my review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2BPUDJI17V0JM/ref=cm_cr_rdp_permIs your 8-hour battery brand new, or is it nearing its' end-of-life? In other words, did it used to last much longer? My belief is that the Anker, compared apples-to-apples (new vs. new or old vs. old) will perform better than the original Samsung battery. I have the same phone as you, and noticed that it did run about 30% longer with the Anker, comparing apples to apples.

I have had good experience with the battery.... It lasts me a week or more and I use it about an hour or more per day during my daily walk. Regarding the 'choppy' audio... Initially I noticed a little of that, but moved my iPhone (source of the music I was listening to) to a different pocket and it resolved that issue. Sometimes there is a little "blip" when you are walking rapidly, but has not been bothersome to me.
