The battery on this was always bad but it was renewed so I suck it up. Towards the end, about 3 months ago, it would have a battery life pop up and I would have to leave it plugged in in order to use it. After it crashed shortly after, wasn't able to even turn it on, we sent it out to see if it was fixable. It's not. The motherboard is fried. So about a year after I purchased it I'm out a laptop and owe a bill.
