My daughter just bought a HP lap top for school, and she said that her batery lasts only about 2 hours. I was surprised. I thought that it should lasts at least half a day or so. Then I talk to other people, and they said the same thing. Two hours are normal for lap top batery. Is it really true? How long does your batery last on your lap top?

Yes about two hours is normal for a laptop battery as I have discovered in the last few days.
I went wireless about six months ago, but usually end up sat at the table next to the hub with the power plugged in.
This week I haven't been able to do that as we are decorating so I have moved the laptop away from the power source and guess what? Yes I have to find somewhere to plug it in as the battery runs down so quickly.

Well, I guess going wireless mean you have more freedom with your lap top. It is not so at all if you are still tied down by the electric cord. I know I can buy the extra batery, but I just don't understand why they don't make batery lasts longer than 2-3 hours.

I have not yet use my laptop on battery alone, whenever I used, it is thru the electric power. But my son who sometimes borrow my laptop to bring it to school and make some projects, told me that the laptop lasted for only two hours on battery. I guess two hours is the maximum hours that a laptop battery could last when fully charged.

My laptop's battery last for 2 hours. When I bought it gave be backup for 3.5 hours.
yes, It is the usual battey power for a laptp. When ur kid's laptop will grow old, it will be loosing it battery power. There is no laptop in earth what can give 12 hour battery backup.
Dont worry much about batteries as laptop 's battery is highly available in the market and very cheap!
Good luck with the new Hp laptop.
Thanks!
