“I Just bought this laptop and the HP line stated that battery life would be 8+ hrs. I am doing nothing but basic set-ups and loading software and my fully charged battery from last night drained to 53% in just 1.5hrs. Why the short battery life???”

All I know is that it is a gaming laptop so you shouldn't expect the battery to last too long especially with that kind of processor and graphics card. The fact that it can last over 2 hours is already pretty impressive. This laptop has a 4-cell battery, which would allow more or less 3 hours of battery life depending on what you do.

If you are having issues and concerns with the laptop, it is recommended that you contact either HP Support or Geek Squad about this unit. Especially if you feel that it could be caused from damage or a short to the battery, you should contact them right away. They can get it looked at and see if it needs to be fixed or replaced.
