Dead Battery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer itself runs mostly fine, which is mostly due to the specifications of the hardware components. However, the laptop's battery was DOA and required it to be plugged in to stay powered. I ran a report, which showed that the last time it was connected, there was ~37% total capacity. By the time we got it, it went down to 0. I had to get a replacement battery to swap it out myself because the shipping times and availability for computers right now is awful and I needed this for a new employee. It was great to have this arrive within about a day of ordering, but the fact that the battery was dead made it about $40 and an hour of my time more expensive than it should have been. I'd consider buying again if I'm in a hurry, but if not, I'd rather order from somewhere else.

We're sorry that your computer's battery life is not performing the way you hoped it would. Here are some tips for extending the life of your computer's battery:

The Battery Saver mode will monitor and limit background activity and other features such as push notifications. You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.
a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver.
