The official battery life is listed as 11.5 hrs. People here report 8-10 hrs, before needing to recharge, with 'normal' use. Another option is buy a recharge pack, to extend the battery life while using the laptop. When I bought this model last week, the Geek Squad opened up the interior, & showed me how the battery is removable & replacable, as is the hard drive, which I upgraded to 550gb ssd, instead of the stock 225gb's ssd. All these upgradable features led me to buy this model, instead of the unexpandable Notebook 7 Spin. The only concern is the 8 gb of RAM, which is soldered in & not expandable. I figure that the state of the art i7 processor, & 550 gb ssd hard drive, will make the 8 gb's work just fine. First time answering my own questions, kinda fun!
