“Battery life hit with QHD & 512 gig SSD What is the penalty in battery life with the QHD screen plus 512 gig SSD versus the model with HD screen & 256 gig SSD. I don't plan to do much more than web browsing but only 4 - 5 hrs of battery life before needing a recharge is a deal killer for me. The official line from HP is something like 12 hours that some reviewers claim is untrue. The HP response about battery life is essentially "It depends ....". That is not useful. I would like feedback from actual buyers.”

I've been using the HP Spectre 4102dx for college for a short while. The QHD screen is simply marvelous and the battery doesn't seem to take much of hit. Standby time is incredible! I've had it in standby for 48 hrs and it lost only 5%! I haven't plugged it in three or four days with intermittent use and it still has 23%! Excellent computer!
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have the 512 QHD version and get around 4-5 hours, mine is going back. I don't know about the lower end one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It does depend on how your are using it. Watching movies with a brighter screen setting, 4-6 hours. I have got 7 hours with a 50% screen setting doing browsing and tv watching.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
