Anybody know the average battery life on a fully charged one of these? My Dell XPS 1530 as really sucky battery life, and I want to know if they improved that in their Studio series laptops.
My girlfriend just got this laptop for graduation. I can’t say I have been the most impressed by it at all. The battery life seems to go away fairly fast as pointed out by others. It is a good laptop in many ways, but I don’t think I would get this laptop.
Make sure you go to Dell’s website and download the “Urgent” webcam driver upgrade. Otherwise without proper Window’s updates this unit will blue screen like crazy. Guaranteed.
These 9 cell batteries last forever. I work 12 hour shifts at night time for my local fire department, and always have it on to use during down times. I can go all night without recharging. They drain faster if you use the disc drive often. But if you do simple tasks like listening to music or browsing the web, they’re great.
