how long does the battery last?

I get about 4.5hrs with the high performance setting. I'm not a big fan of power saving mode. Haha

I can honestly say it has yet to run out of battery in one session... meaning I have had at least 2hrs straight and no low battery warnings...I just plug it in overnight and its good to go in the morning... I also have a dock for it though I never used it...its very convenient has far as weight it feels like a actual notepad...Im sure the internet has how long these batteries are supposed to last but from personal experience I

Batteries last according to power consumption of usage. Anywhere from 1hr to 3 hrs depending on what your doing. Keep in mind that Core i7 processors draw more power when used at high percentage than most other processors.

I don't think it's more than a couple of hours, from a drained battery. But I'm not 100% sure. Definitely not an all day thing though.

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.

If I remember right, I believe the battery lasts 4 hours. I personally love mine. I Keep it in my purse/backpack and it has come in handy more than I can tell you about here. I always have it close by, but I especially like that it's made in the USA (Florida).

Mine has lasted at least a couple of hours. I haven't needed it longer than that.

I don't know exactly how long the battery lasts (it said up to four hours in the book) but I enjoy movies on it in the evening and I never have problems with the battery running down. I have worked from it in other areas (unplugged) and it certainly keeps me on long enough.

If you leave it on constantly then probably only 1 day it's a tiny battery. but if you only use it a couple hours a day it will last.

Hi,I have mine since two years ago, the battery had a duration between 2 and 3 hours, but since one year ago it last around 30-45 min.

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.

it lasts as long as you dont use it. the battery does not lose its charge once it is charged

I still average about 2-3 hours on mine. I've had in the neighborhood of 15 months. Been a great battery.

Battery is supposed to last about 8 hours but can vary depending on volume, etc. I haven't really pushed it that far to see if it will last that long.

I'd say mine lasts just under 3 hours at the lowest power levels. The battery is easy to remove, so you can always buy a second battery to double your life.

2 hours. Maybe 2 1/2. Be careful when you "close it" or pause it, because it doesn't turn off and will run the battery down.

Quite a while. I have owned this for well over a year now, and I have only replaced the batteries once.

I have used mine for at least 4 hours. After 6 or 7 years it still lasts over 2 hours.

When it is fully charged, it lasts about a week, and then the battery loses one bar. I presume it can go a month and be just about ready to "die." It never actually "turns off" otherwise--the clock display is always on. But this is just in standby mode, without using the features.
