Question: How is the battery on this laptop? How long does it usually last?
Document: Once we opened up this laptop upon arrival, we noticed that the laptop did not recognize the battery. Went online with ASUS (through Chat), and they suggested charging the battery for at least 6 hours to see what would happen. Once we did that, the computer taskbar icon showed "no battery detected". Laptop would run on the battery alone, but would not "start up" using battery only. Would only boot-up using AC Adapter.
This is fast and lightweight. The battery life is fantastic and it never gets hot even on your lap. I am a professional photographer and needed something to powerful enough to import, edit, and export thousands of images on software like Lightroom. I am probably going to buy another one of these as my kids have been loving this too.
I put in a 120GB SSD and I absolutely love this computer. The battery lasts ~6 hrs (The SSD makes a big difference) if I'm not watching videos and the computer flies. The processor is super fast. I do a lot of data processing (getting a grad degree in analytics and i have a lot of throughput) and it is fantastic on day-to-day usage.
Just 2 days after starting the laptop up, Win 8 crashed and continues to do so at least twice a day. Search *Windows 8 crash* and there's a lot of posts on forums as well as other sites. Microsoft's forum on their site has complaints exactly like mine and have been awaiting a Microsoft person to address this problem for a good long while.
What a great price for this fast laptop with nice specs and features! We are so glad that we found this deal!
it meets my needs. light weight. I still don't know how to use windows 8 but the laptop is nice
This laptop is great! I do a lot of work with photoshop as well as light gaming on it, and it handles everything perfectly.
I love this laptop. It is fast and responsive. One of the best decisions I have made from a great manufacturer.
This is my first laptop to work. I am used to desktop PC. It works fine, even with graphic softwares. Then, it's heavy.
The laptop itself is not bad, the speakers have poor sound quality. My biggest complaint is WINDOWS 8 SUCKS! Spend the extra for better sound.
Answer: With mine I may get 3.5 to 4 hours maybe, never really timed it. I do know that when I unplug it and go outside, it seems like within a 1/2 hour to 3/4 of an hour the battery indicator is down a ways.
