A:Answer Yes, except for the lower battery capacity of 30WHr, so the mobile duration will be lower than other available devices.
If need longer mobile duration on battery power, more than a few hours, I suggest research products with better battery capacity & mobile duration. If only a few hours like 2-4 is okay, then this device is a great value otherwise.
It's also a matter of cost versus performance. On sale, this laptop is a great value for the hardware, except the battery.
30WHr is the lowest battery capacity I've seen in laptops this size (15"). Even many lower model budget laptops. This model hardware spec.s & performance are better than most of them, except the battery.
If there are higher capacity battery options, that could make it more useful for longer mobile use. Or if external battery power/charging is available via USB port, then an external battery bank/charger could be used to extend battery duration.
Students/people in classes may not have external power connections/plugs/outlets available, so may need to have longer mobile battery power duration.
Be careful of suggestions about setting very restrictive power controls/profiles, that may drastically reduce performance, to get sufficient mobile battery duration. Since many other computers have greater battery capacities & durations without having to greatly reduce performance.
