Some laptop computer claim to be last long over 20 hours, that is what they said in the box when I purchase them. After some 5 hours recharging. The battery only last about 3 hours or so. My computer just turn - off, and I have to recharge it again. How about your laptop?

5 hours to charge and lasts for about 3 hours?! you have a nice laptop! i have a 17 inch dell inspiron xps gen 2. it is a nice laptop i guess, but it is older. it does the job, has a nice sized screen, but this model doesnt hold a battery connect for long! it took me a while to figure out it was a problem with the production of these laptops, that after a couple of months it no longer reads a battery. i have a new battery just waiting, but i never needed to put it in, because i can only use my laptop when it is plugged in. still, i am grateful because i get to play many games on my laptop, it has nice graphics card and nice processor so, i cant complain. but i do hope to have a better one soon...only i really dont need a better one. i just want a better one! but i am not vain in my thinkin...so i deal with this one...for now!
