i doubt it is truly 8 hours. that is probably a test that is not pushing the computer very hard at all...just my 2 cents.
What happens when the batteries no good? How does one replace it?
I would have thought a 17" laptop with price tag like that, the battery should last forever
With the way technology is moving, there is no such thing are forever.
Very true and also no battery will last forever, at least not with any present technology anyway!
Some dood on Ebay was selling a Dell Notebook with no power adapter so stated "Battery Lasts Forever and NEVER needs to be charged!"
A person I know fell for it. I lost it! My jaw still hurts from hitting the floor being so shocked at a friend of mine believing something that crazy!
