A:Answer Battery life varies depending on your type of use. I am working from home and get about 8 hours if I'm just typing papers, using the internet, and checking emails. If I have to videoconference, my battery life is about 3-4 hours. I've been very satisfied with this computer so far. I've had it for about 6 months and it has been trouble free. It boots up quickly, connects to my wifi without problem, and is very quick to upload and download. I recommend it for everyday, school or work use. I don't know how it would perform for gaming. Overall, it's a good value.
