[QUOTE="miles01110, post: 1011769, member: 91347"] The "up to 7 hours" battery life stat is based on the computer basically doing nothing. Screen at half brightness, "web browsing and word processing" or whatever they say in the fine print. If you go to any website with any Flash on it (even if it's just an ad), it will consume a lot of power. Same thing if you pile on instant messengers, watching a movie, playing a game, or listening to music. 7 hours is an ideal to aspire to, 3-4 hours of "normal" usage is very "normal." I don't think you have a problem with your battery at all. [/QUOTE]
