A:Answer Battery life depends on how much juice you're using. If you keep the display at 50% brightness, and use just the word processor, you will have at least 4 hours or battery life. If you are running it at 100% brightness, and are multi-tasking while watching videos, you can expect 2.5--3 hours. If you're going to use this away from a power source, consider dimming the display, and minimizing the number of tasks you're performing.
